It was an embarrassing collapse for Kenya's ruling party.
Just two weeks after an "inspection" by President Uhuru Kenyatta, a $12 million Chinese-built Sigiri bridge in Western Kenya collapsed before it was completed.
Built by the Chinese Overseas Construction and Engineering Company in Busia County, the bridge connects a region that has historically lacked government investment and development. Around a dozen people died on the river after a boat capsized while attempting to cross in 2014.
President Kenyatta's Jubileee Coalition has made infrastructure development a key pillar of its reelection strategy ahead of the coming presidential election.

My opinion
Dear Our Northern Brothers and Sisters you Must be Serious When it Comes to issues of your National Interest. The Notion of ''Huyu ni Mwizi Wetu'' will continue to haunt you. The responsible people should pay the price.

Even by Kenyans' standard, this is an embarrasment. How low can Uhuru and his cronies go? These people are looting their kids and grand children future. Honestly, our neighbor to the north have become the poster boys of corruption. Sadly, Uhuru will not be held accountable because is a Kikuyu.
 
I'm wondering how the EA Infrastructure power house is experiencing this.
 

Ile ni mwisi yetu. Hapana kugusa yeye.

Impunity at its best. Shame on you dude.

Bila magufulification wezi watazidi kutamba nchi kenya. A radical change is of utmost important to get the country rid off grand corruption.
 
Was this bridge made up of concrete and steel or bamboo trees?

Ahaaaaa haaaaa haaaa itakuwa ni bridge ya mabua. But still they are claiming that they are Africa Infrastructure Power House.

Baada ya majengo kuporomoka ni zamu ya madaraja.

Ni rushwa tu.

Huku Inawezekana kweli mkulu atoke kukagua Daraja lililojengwa kwa ajili ya wananchi kwa pesa za wananchi. Halafu likatike bila kuwatumbua watu.
Kweli nimeamini Kenya ina wenyewe ambao hawaguswi.
 
Hilo daraja lingekua hapa bongo....
sasa hivi mkandadasi yuko ukonga, bila kujali ni mchina au mjapani[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

Hapo ndipo utauona umuhimu wa Mh Maghufuli
 
Leo naona wanachungulia kwa mbali

Hawawezi ongea kitu hapa. Maana wenyewe wanajiona eti ni Afrika's infrastructure house wakati kila wakati majengo yanaanguka. Kwako 50% ya majengo yao ni mabovu.

Hapo Mimi ndo nampendeaga Magufuli. Yale makida makida ya kijinga hayavumilii.
Wenyewe uhuru wao naye anapigaga dili.
 
Tatizo kubwa kwetu sisi waafrika ni infiriority complex, sio mchina wala mzungu wa kuitoa Afrika ilipo zaidi yetu sisi wenyewe kuweka maslahi yetu mbele kwanza. Nachofahamu ni kuwa hakuna watu wenye roho mbaya kwa sasa kama wa Asia
Na bado ile standard gauge itaporomoka mwakani..mchina hajawahi kumuacha MTU salama

Hapo umenena mkulu. Afrika inahitaji dada ya matatizo yake toka kwa wenyewe waAfrika.

Lkn issue ya kufumbia macho Daraja lililojengwa chini ya kiwango kwa sababu za rushwa ni hiyo nayo ndiyo shida juu ya Kenya na Afrika kwa ujumla.
