This road has been “being built” for the last 10 to 15 years. Until it is actually completed, whatever is signed does not mean anything. If it was a Chinese project, it would have been completed a long time ago. Americans are slow in doing things unless it has something to do with military activities. Previous heads of state have negotiated for this project and nothing came of it.
Every year it is not built cost us $1B in inefficiency. They dug up the road and left it in limbo for 7 years. The extra amount of time, shock absorbers, bushes and fuel I used during those years is north of a million estimated. It killed a part of me.
@@Wasengenyie why not look for other financiers or investors instead of being taken for a ride by muricans? We can actually build it with our money bit by bit, look the amount of money we allocate Kenha, KURA and Kerra and you will find its possible to construct it with our own resources staggered over several years.
@@mwaurakinyanjui-tf4mx the project was actually announced before thika road. When Obama visited he was like you cant give china all the projects. So we gave it to Betchel. They complained about some of the sub contractors chosen for the road that were blacklisted. In all fairness all infrastructure projects are conduits for corruption on a biblical scale.
Kenya must accept the gays first before all the money is released.
very true. This will never materialize
Before cheering, lets remind ourselves that we are dealing with Americans, we might have been taken into a circus, America is not China, China got Exim Bank that gives money to its construction firms, American government has nothing like that, contractors have to look for private capital which may be slow and expensive to come by.
Better it stayed with potholes for 24 years of MOI rule better than nothing.
Outside their America, they are ONLY INTERSESTED IN SELLING WEAPONS and PROPAGATING WARS.
You should def word your sentences properly. Let me remind you that when you are "dealing with Americans", you are also dealing with Kenyan Americans too. Please say the US govt and stop lumping us like this.
@@rickmarshall5419 thanks for correction, am talking about US government.

In return Kenya has to sacrifice Kenyan Policemans in Haiti. Making deals with USA is like making deal with the devil.
True
Ruto is selling his soul to the US
Funny thing is people are fighting for a position to go to Haiti...For some of them they have never seen such a compensation with their meagre police salary
In 2007 a country could have prioritise to save kenya if the country disgrented thats how things work.
But the police want to.. they aren't doing for free. They need the money. No one is forcing them.. sometimes you do what you have to do.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.
Something big about the same project coming up next week Monday
Thank you for covering this story. I am a African American living in the U.S. planning to move to Kenya. I tried following President Ruto’s US trip but didn’t hear about this major infrastructure project. Do you know the proposed timeline and what percentage of Kenyans will be employed by this project?
Thanks for your feedback..I'll keep you updated ones communicated..feel free to join this channel for more updates
They said the project will take 3-4 years
Karibu Africa 🌍
@@dolphine254 I subscribed several months ago and have been enjoying your content. I’m systematically watching all your videos from the past as well.
@@dylankanyubi3700 Asante sana!
The chinese will do a good job when they build this kind of work!
Why should you think they'll do a great work when they didn't do a good work on Expressway
@@faizG254what do mean by they didn't do good work on express way
@@faizG254 The real question is why is your country relying on China and the US for infrastructure.
Hopefully there will be also even further developments in power&lightning. That would be great for all Kenyans too.
There already. See the latest News.
Kenyan projects usually start with soo much bragging but the completion usually a history
Why are tanzanians so bothered about kenyan? No kenyan is ever concerned about that village called tanzania
@@newtonmutea 😆
@@newtonmuteait's just friendly competition bro,I love Tanzanians they keep us on our toes nd Vice versa too..I'm Kenyan but I'll have to agree with him..what happened to Railway City,Brt project, Nairobi mau summit highway,? Konza is also growing very slow. Tanzania might have fewer projects than us but the ones the have have been completed with good success..like their brt system nd Electric rail projects.
Nairobi Malaba should be prioritised
They will happen just maybe not as fast as we would like
The amount of money moving through this route is enough to pay for itself.
THIS is a PPP project. The investors will recoup their money by tolling the road users for a period of 30yrs. Kyle Carter is the current chairman of Everstrong equity and immediate fomer US ambassador to Kenya. Thanks D254 for highlighting this and the indepth analysis of the project.
Call me persimistic but I don't think this project will materialize under America. US have NEVER demonstrated the interest to develop infrastructure for third world countries. Their current foreign policy won't let this happen. Am willing to bet on this.
Either another Non Western contractor will make this materialize or it will stall and by 2030 it will be the same old paperwork pr with nothing to show. I would advise Kenyans to keep their hopes down with this one. Am more optimistic about the naivasha sgr to Kampala by Chinese though
I agree 💯. America has money but they are very slow on projects and development. This is where China beats them hands down
Outside their America, they are ONLY INTERSESTED IN SELLING WEAPONS and PROPAGATING WARS.
I agree 💯 partnership with China yields better results.
A colonizer never develops a colony except for extraction of natural resources. Nairobi was built by elephant tusks and safari hunting. It was not built by farming or white Highlands. Either the story about cobalt deposits is true or some rare earths. Otherwise the US will never fund the road except for extraction of raw materials.
Their African policy, especially the NSSM200 by Kissinger, based on depopulation, the acquisition of minerals for a pittance and military domination surely won't let much happen, IF this one does. Not pessimistic but realistic. 1 ❤️
Promise around and keep thin. It is a stupid show off of U.S when China realy mean and do what it says. The highway will be finished before sun dead.
They will use that deal to blackmail other things that Kenyia will find itself in a crusade to acomplish! That's the american culture and their modus operandi. Example: Ukraine.
I am sure Ruto will push for this one till completion then he will tick his check ✅ box of achievements.
Congratulations president William Ruto as well as the president of Africa
USA is not able to do this for their own country Liberian 🇱🇷🇱🇷why?
$$$$...it's not free!
Liberia is a different state and jurisdiction until they have something reciprocal. $$ doesn't come for free.
All i see is america combating china here having an influence and interest in the continent
ww3 possibly? It has already began in the mind.
Forget about this project and Railway City, signing a contract was a mistake because Kenya can not be able to give it to anyone else and the project will no take off. The first contract was signed during President Uhuru's first term when the cost was lower, its been 10 years nothing has been done. Kenya has also given the Railways City project to UK. We all know that if you want your project to take off you will have to work with Asia.
Where was the CS for Roads.
This agreement was signed by Ruto and his wife looking on.
Otherwise Ruto and family.
😂
Kenya this, Kenya that? When are we going to become East Africa federation and leadind to the Nations United of Africa????🌍 🌍
Kenya should answer this question. The country is becoming a US lap dog, imagine going to send its soldiers to Haiti??😏🤭
I'm just wondering which road should be prioritized more waiyaki way upto nakuru bearing in mind the SGR to mombasa is offering transportation, unlike waiyaki way which is used by many counties all the way to Uganda.
Agree with you here bro, what happened to the Nairobi Mau Summit dual carriage way please, the many fatal accidents being witnessed on this strech almost on a daily basis is due to the increase in traffic and the two way system on this busy road.
If you have gone through the pain of over 24hrs jam on Nairobi MSA highway you'd appreciate and welcome this project
@@christineopiyo7769 well both highways are in dire need of expansion.
Project was right on course,I'm sure if uhuru angekuwa president by now project ingekuwa imeanza...AFDB Had already allocated 70 billion for the road.then the Kalenjingas came in nd to nobody's surprise nothing much is happening in regards to road infrastructure..
@@christineopiyo7769 let's think of the lives we are loosing on this two lane highway from Nairobi to Kisumu and Malaba vehicles on this road have almost tripled over the years while the road has remaind the same.
Nice
What's the use of sgr?
I am a frequent traveller along this routes and it would be very interesting to drive along this express way. When it comes to infrastructure updates, nobody beats our Otede girl-D254 😂😂😂
It's great, but they've been stealing money for this project from the 80s.. it was ment to be free to use a long long time ago
I'll believe it when i see the project commencing
Congratulations Your Excellency.
Good luck
Corruption and scam thats rutos game plan
Azimio
say no to usa
Keep moving forward
The road stayed without an effictive rail way line for decades with pot holes still money was dissapearing this is better.
This project is one of the best legacy President Ruto will leave us with.Gudos to our President and those dwells in negativity will never succeed.
that does not excuse him from being a Western puppet--we need Pan Africanist leaders, anything ess, is less--the Africans owe it to themselves to vote pan Africanist or see, they have settled for less
It's not Ruto's project. Just a continuation of development. This project was inked by kibaki for vision 2030. This road was supposed to be built together with sgr
We need a Chinese contractor, American contractors have been a let down in this project
God wiiling from Nakuru to malaba the best and infact you will be done good health and keep your promises from the kenya kwanza manfesto
It was last year that you said the Korean company called KIND had done feasibility and the construction was about to start..please correct me if am wrong
Yes you're right,Hii kitu tungepea tu china bwana all these other countries ni mamblainer tu
I think the funds should have been used to build a railway line from Lamu port to Ethiopia border
Mombossa Nairobi is the artery of Kenya.
do we have a port in Ethiopian border 🤔🤔
😂😂😂
We trade more with Somalia than Ethiopia. Think about that and find out why
@@hustlezetu2043 The Ethiopian market is very huge and will improve the lives of the Northern Kenya residents
Tell them to build Garrsen ,-Garissa -Nrb.. expressway. You cant repeat same same road kibaki started and what was the Rail way for
The police makers basically don't know what they are doing
Uhuru knows
I hope it will for real this time
As long as sijaona anything happening on the Ground hizi ni story za Jaba kama Railway city : a Jaba project D254 hyped so much over here😅
This is a long waited project because it's im 9:40 9:40 po
This is a very important project to the country it will change the country at large to great prosperity. Thank you all stake holders.
with ruto as president? never... ruto doesn't believe in land compensation
It would make more sense to improve the current Nairobi Mombasa highway. Say make it dual carriage or more.
Ruto will push it
Well done preso god bless you we pray for you god to give you more wisdom dont worry even if back baiters challenge you
Time will tell
This will create soo msny jobs
Wajinga ni wengi kenya. Kwa nini kenya isijenge yenyewe?
Lack of economic literacy.
Dolphin, this you will wait until you age
Some years back during Uhuru's regime America was to commence the construction I don't know what stopped it. Probably this is a pipe dream as well!
👍
The first time the West is doing something non-belittling in Africa
proud of Kenya, but its a dance with the devil coz Americans are aware of the coltan deposits.. God bless Kenya and Africa
Keel selling your soul to the devils
Outside their America, they are ONLY INTERSESTED IN SELLING WEAPONS and PROPAGATING WARS.
Are you very sure that highway is not "snake oil" that is being sold to Kenyans?
And what about China?
I thought the Koreans were going to build it after Bechtel pulled out of the deal. There are no Kenyans who can build this high-quality highway? That says a lot about the university curriculum in Kenya not up to international standards!
It's not about university curriculum. You want to bank on Kenyan contractors? 😂😂. Unless you want pothole filled highway after a month of completion 😅
Kenya does not need a white elephant express way to nowhere. What Kenyans need is to get the SGR completed to Kampala, that should be the priority for Ruto, and by the way I guarantee you that with the Americans poor record of funding infrastructure in foreign countries, that is nothing but hot air 🔥. Any good luck with your expectations
You should have asked the Chinese. This road will take 20 years to build and it will cost $50 billion LOL. Wrong Country to build anything, they charge 5 times the necessary cost.
Si amini waamerika watafanikisha mradi huu. Hao ni walaghai.
American's have money yes but they are too slow with development. Contract should have been given to Japan, S.Korea or Turkey, they engineering is of high standards and build quite fast. China no, they build fast but quite substandard
With a debt of $35 Trillion?
Are they gonna print it as usual or borrow from China
@@ntokozolugogo4762 These aren't government investments, its private companies investing with the U.S government acting as a middleman. That debt you are quoting is public debt held by U.S citizens to themselves. American corporations are flush with money. Google and learn the difference before parroting Chinese propaganda.
Ha ha...America will deliver...there is more to this project....Its geopolitics at full play
@@ntokozolugogo4762 $4Billion USD is nothing to America so no, they will not print money for it. The money is already readily available. Just like Ksh100 million is nothing to Kenya, we can easily afford Ksh 100 million as a country. If it was hundreds of billions of USD then maybe they can print
@@eldios831 with geopolitics maybe they will be forced to deliver coz china is in the picture but with geopolitics and china or Russia is not in the picture, America will still not deliver. Case study Latin and South America, great geopolitics but little or no Russian or Chinese influence so no development from America
😢😢😢
Virtually most consumer goods in the world today are made in China by virtue of their low prices. If China is demanded to fast track in building of any project, time and savings are always immense.
Congratulations to all the people of Kenya in the name of Jesus Christ..❤
Una booh na hizi wimbo zako
He is a sellout
Azimio
I prefer CHINESE would have been given this road construction work,,,, Chinese have demonstrated their abilities when it comes to road construction for many decades
I fear for Kenya and kenyans there's nothing for free coz u're going to cry in the long run those US pple they're after something.
Did you actually watch the video? This is an investment through the public (taxpayers) and private companies. It's a loan that gets paid back through tolls. Please google how that works, ignorance is not bliss. People like you praise the Chinese for the SGR yet here is Kenya imposing austerity on its people to pay for that 6billion dollar external debt owed to China.
If they want they will still get it for nothing.
Azimio mentality
Ruto selling us to the wazungus. This man is a devil.
Aftwr or while co.structip. the war brokòut
Forget.
Dont give credit to ruto is was Narc government who initiated the project it has been in pipeline for a decade now lets wait and see
Americans don't build roads in Africa. This is a huge public relations exercise 😂😂😂😂
The catch is Kenya have sold some parts of Northern Kenya to US. A us territory in kenya where if a kenyan is seen there will be shot on the spot. They are building military base there as well...yani Kenya imeuzwa in short
Kichwa kubwa hakuna mawazo hata kidogo. Sasa hiyo akili yako inakuambia imeuzwa?
Trust ruto lies at your own risk 😂😅😢 I know 🤔
If it was Chinese i would have believed cause they deliver what they promise. Under US 😂😂😂😂 let me laugh!
Wait for anti- corruption commission to be set up .
😂😂
Deal with serious matters like security and health you're stealing money from Kenya through lies
This project is worthwhile because it is to be built on PPI agreement meaning that we are not taking up loans to build it.
We took loans for the expressway and fully paid for it. Yet we are paying for it again under the PPP model for 25 years. Interesting isn't it
The thing is will it materialize
@@Wasengenyie What you are saying is false and you know it very well. Not a penny we borrowed for the Express Way. Period.
