Bye bye Lamu port

Wanamatatizo ya kutokusoma small print za mikataba. SGR ilitakiwa iwe na knowledge transfer, sasa hivi na ripoti iliyotoka hilo swala ni ndoto. Na jinsi wachina wanavyotaja kutawala dunia, Kenya wajitaarishe kwa vita kubwa ya kumg'oa mchina lasivyo ukoloni mambo leo unarudi Kenya.
 
Hakuna nchi inaweza endelea ikiwa na port moja. Kenya haitawahi endelea ikiwa na port moja pekee. Hata ukiexpand hiyo port namna gani itafika wakati serikali itashindwa kuiexpand. Halafu port ya pili itapunguza msongamano wa magari hapo Mombasa kwa hivyo lazima tujenge port ya pili, mahater wapende wasipende.
 
Hii analysis imeenda shule.
 
Trying to sound intelligent but you are foolishly intelligent.Lamu port is not been built for Ethiopians its a long term development plan to decongest Mombasa port in the future.
By 2050 Kenya's population will be bigger thus putting more pressure Mombasa.Most ndanganyikas myopic.
 
Your trying to make best out of bad job. Kenya came up with all these projects with neighbours in mind to ease up on cost. But if the neighbors where to turn away, Kenya will take much-much longer to get return of investment presuming there was plan B.

Hata hivyo, apart from Lokichar oil there is there is nothing to justify Lamu port, imagine taking cargo container from Lamu to Kisumu and vice versa.
 
Have you factored in population increase in your analysis? You know nothing about economics
 
Hizo port za Tanzania zikijengwa na mkoloni kila moja ikiwa na specific purpose. Leo hii huoni tunakimbilia kujenga port just because others have one. Kumbuka miradi mingi Kenya ilifanyiwa uwamuzi na watu waliokuwa wanajali kubeba 10% yao.
 
Have you factored in population increase in your analysis? You know nothing about economics
Population increase doesn't necessarily mean people will move to those unpopulated areas, if that's was the chase you'll find people everywhere in China and India. Modern trend of urbanisation will not allow live whenever they like if there is no infrastructure in place. Good example is Kenya, were population are more in the south than in the north.
 
Increase in population leads to increase consumption which leads to increase in currency flow in the economy thus more trade which cannot be efficiently sustained by only Mombasa port.
 
Do a study on chinas model of economic growth and why it was successful......for example population around sgr stations was very low but due to infrastructural development things change many business have sprung up and other private invesetments structures are coming up.The population in Lamu was very low but due to the ongoing construction the population Has increased thus more business which enhance development and creation of jobs.
 
People will always follow the jobs, but lets not forget that Ethiopia and South Sudan and Ugandan oil the key factor to justify the project. You can remind yourself with the link below.

I have told you that Kenya cannot survive with one port. It is crazy to expect an $80 billion economy to have just one port. For example accident ikifanyika Mombasa port, biashara itabidi ifungwe hadi hio accident itatuliwe. Ama Kenya tukienda War na nchi nyingine halafu hiyo nchi iamue kubomb Mombasa port, then that will be the end of us. So having two ports is not only for necessity reasons but also for tactical and strategic reasons during emergencies. Mtu mwenye ako na bank accounts mbili atakuwa bila wasiwasi ikiwa moja itafungwa, kwa sababu ako na nyingine. Don't have archaic thinking mentality eti the fewer the ports the better; that is not true. Ni vizuri kuwa na magari mawili moja ikiharibika bado uko na nyingine. Wachana na hii scarcity mentality.
 
Kenya: Prime Minister Speaks at Ground Breaking Ceremony of Proposed Lamu Port
lapsset was under Raila's office. ..... unless you want to tell me raila alitaka kula 10%

I have already shown the cargo projection up to 2030 when the project will be complete, Mombasa port haitatosha mboga, Currently there are 4, 500 vehicles each single day travelling of Mombasa-Nairobi two lane highway.... the road to Lamu will be hustle free for cargo traffic , it will completely open up another trade route thus making Kenya logistics and economy more resilient, its unbeleivable that we have suvived this long relying on just one port that was built to serve only 500k TEUs
 
meanwhile Berth number 4, 5, 6 (out of 32) will be funded by SA development bank... “The Development Bank of Southern Africa is the main arranger for a consortium that wants to invest Sh122 billion ($1.2 billion) in three additional berths at Lamu Port. The same consortium would look to fund construction of the Lamu-Garissa-Isiolo road under the annuity programme at a cost of Sh71 billion ($700 million),” said Mr Esipisu in the weekly briefing held at Kisumu State Lodge.
The Lamu corridor project, which was commissioned by former President Mwai Kibaki in 2012, is expected to open up Kenya’s northern frontier for more trade and investment,

None of those countries have a refinery or a refined petrolium pipeline. .. look at the lapseet blueprint... So the projects involved are very much still up for grabs....Besides that, Lapsset and vision 2030 was announced in 2005, and was officially launched in 2008, At that time Kenya had not even discovered oil! And didnt South Sudan gain independence in 2011?

BTW did you know that there are 10 mega projects that were selected and endorsed by AU as the most strategic and important projects of the decade and Lapsset features as No. 9 in the list.... But off all the 10 projects, Lapsset is the only one that has taken off.... Alot of counteies sign deals and make plans but they never dollow through... There was a time Ethiopia PM signed a deal with Tanzania to use her ports... Where is the deal now? Ethiopia has signed dealls with almost all the ports in the region, but which port is ahead of the rest????




"Key flagship projects are championed by presidents in Africa, and right now they are 10 in number. LAPSSET was the ninth admission, in 2015. The last was Walvis Bay in Namibia," said Kasuku.
"A recent review undertaken by Nepad, the AU secretariat and the UN Economic Commission for Africa realized that out of all these 10 projects in Africa, the best performing is LAPSSET," he added. Kenya set to complete 1st berth at Lamu port in December: official
