Kenya leads the East African region in terms of mega construction projects. The country has 20 ongoing large projects followed by Ethiopia at 12.
East Africa holds 20 per cent of all construction projects in Africa and 15 per cent in dollar value at $57.5 billion (Sh 5.8 trillion) in 2015, which is a slight fall from $60.7 billion (Sh6.2 trillion) in 2014.
Basic infrastructure projects, transport and energy, are top on the Kenyan development agenda, with transport taking the lion's share of 51 per cent and energy at 30 per cent.
The figures were released yesterday by consultancy firm Deloitte East Africa in a report titled Africa Construction Trends 2015.
Kenya's standard railway project (SGR) is the fourth most expensive project in the region, gobbling up $3.8 billion (Sh386 billion at current rates), with Tanzania's port at Bagamoyo coming top at a cost of $11 billion (Sh1.119 trillion).
The report also indicates Kenya is experiencing growth in the retail sector, where hotel space, modern office parks, entertainment and lifestyle facilities are experiencing a boom due to expansion of towns and cities and a growing middle class.
East African projects are predominantly financed by International Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), followed by funding from the governments.
Local firms are involved in the construction of 36 per cent of these projects, followed by China at 21 per cent. It is therefore not surprising that 85 per cent of the projects are in the public domain, 13 per cent in private-public partnerships and 2 per cent in the private domain.
"Big international financiers are favouring Kenya as a destination for their investment, among other countries in the region," said Mark Smith, Head of Infrastructure and Capital Projects, Deloitte East Africa. "...this interest might however plummet given the uncertainties surrounding the next election, and the current global liquidity issues."
The report cites donors previously preferred to fund projects with a social impact, channeling their funds through Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), but now are more inclined to fund projects that have a purely economic end.
Ethiopia continues to be hot on Kenya's heels as the regional economic powerhouse, with its rapid growth engineered by mega infrastructure projects attracting investors who traditionally preferred Kenyan shores to Addis Ababa.
However, Ethiopia's lack of a rejuvenated middle class, unlike Kenya, and a closed currency due to its past protectionist policies make it lag behind Kenya in development, the report indicates.

-----------
infrastructure bado tuko, hata Ethiopia ambao wako more likely to overtake Kenya if Kenya sleeps bado hawatoshi mboga .

about the same report from another article

Transport infrastructural development took up 51 percent of projects, energy and power took 30 percent, water took 8 percent while social development took 4 percent according to the Africa Construction Trends report.
Of the projects, 36 per cent of the construction was fully funded by governments where foreign contractors were implementing them, followed by China. ...

'-------
of the mega infrastructure project..... Kenya leads with 33% of the project followed by Ethiopia with approx 20%..... leaving 37% to be shared among Tanzania and Uganda ....+Rwanda

Tatizo tanzania hatufikiri tunachopenda ni copy and paste lakini tunasahau not everything can be copied and pasted serekali yetu inastahili ikae itulie ifikirie inakotaka kuelekea. Mind you itafikia point ambayo kila MTU ataanza ujambazi. 'Eti BUDGET' Budget gani isiojua kutizama hali ya wananchi? Ndio ni sahihi kupandisha kodi katika vitu vya anasa visivo kuwa vya msingi basi hata vyakula? Naona sasa tuanze kula Lami na mchanga miti nyasi na vingine. Serekali yetu inasahau kuna watu wenye kipato cha chini ya dola moja kwa siku je, hiyo the so called serekali ya kuitetea mwananchi iko wapi wakati inaunda budget? Au ndio ile mishahara inayoongezwa ndio inachukuliwa kimtindo??? Vitu vingine sio vya kuiga Bali ni kuvifikiri na kutizama hali halisi then one should take actions accordingly. Na swala LA sukari bado linatatuliwa tu??? Haya tuanze mazoezi ya kunywa chai ya chumvi au tukorogee mchanga. Hehehe

Nikitazama kwa undani naona mfano mzuri kuwa Kenya na Tanzania wanategemea ushuru na kodi zitokanazo na mitumba ya nguo / viatu . Hali hii inaonesha nchi hizi mbili wananchi wake hawazidiani kipato cha mtu mmoja mmoja.

Itapofika sema Tanzania watu hawavai mitumba kutokana na kuwa na viwanda vya ndani kuzalisha bidhaa bora au wanauwezo wa kuagiza nguo ready-made toka nje huku kina MK254 wanaendelea kuvaa mitumba hapo ndipo nitaona angalau nchi moja imeipita nyingine ktk hali halisi ya maisha.

Pia budget sio kigezo pekee (yardstick) cha kiuchumi kuonesha taifa wananchi wake wanaishi vizuri au kupata huduma za kijamii bora. Kuna nchi ndogo zilizo na budget ndogo kuliko USA, SPAIN, ITALY N.K lakini wanachi wake wana maisha bora pamoja na mapato kuliko nchi yenye uchumi mkubwa na budget kubwa kama USA.

Hivi wewe ulienda shule kusoma ama kunya? Nchi ndogo yenye bajeti ndogo kushinda Marekani ni tofauti na nchi ndogo yenye bajeti kubwa kushinda Tanzania. Kuna kitu inaitwa per capita, google hilo neno alafu uje upige domo.

Soma vizuri, kuwa na bajeti kubwa siyo kigezo pekee cha wananchi wake kuwa na maisha mazuri. Ndiyo maana narudia hakuna tofauti kubwa kimaisha kati ya wananchi wa Tanzania na Kenya hivyo hizi kelele zenu hazina maana.

Mfano Hakuna m-Ethiopia mkimbizi wa kiuchumi anataka kukaa Kenya ndiyo maana wanaelekea South Afrika kupitia Kenya au vijana wenye nguvu zao wa- Eritrea / Watanzania /Wa-Uganda n.k wenye kutafuta maisha wote wanaelekea nchi zingine siyo Kenya sababu kuu ni kuwa hakuna tofauti kubwa kimaisha hilo lazima ukubali.

Wanajamvi heshima sana.

Naomba tujikite katika hoja kwanza badala ya kukimbuilia kurushiana madongo pasipo sababu za msingi.

Ni kweli bajeti ya Kenya ni kubwa ukilinganisha na nchi zote za Afrika Mashariki.Hilo halina ubishi hata kidogo.Kenya ina uchumi mkubwa ukilinganisha na nchi zingine za Afrika Mashariki.

Wakati Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki inafufuliwa tena na Marais Ali Hassan Mwinyi wa Tanzania,Daniel Arap Moi wa Kenya na Yoweri Kaguta Museveni wa Uganda bajeti ya Kenya ilikuwa kubwa mara nne zaidi ya bajeti ya Tanzania.Kenya ilikuwa ikiuza bidhaa katika soko la EC huku nchi nyingine zikibaki kama soko la bidhaa za Kenya,ukiangalia sekta ya utalii Kenya ilikuwa ikipokea watalii mara mbili hadi tatu zaidi ya watalii walikuokuja Tanzania.Kwa ujumla kila sekta Kenya ilikuwa imetawala na kuziacha nchi nyingine mbali sana.

Bajeti ya mwaka 2016/17 pengo baina ya Kenya na Tanzania limezidi kupungua sana,bajeti ya Kenya ni 22.62 bilion na Tanzania 13.51 bilion dollar ya USA. Ukitazama hili pengo ni U$ 9 billion litazidi kupunguzwa kila mwaka mfano tukichukua sekta ya gas pekee yake inatarajiwa kuingiza taifa zaidi ya u$ 2.5 billion kila mwaka.Usafirisha wa mafuta ya Uganda unatarajiwa kuliingizia taifa (Tanzania) u$ 1.022 billion hapo bado sijaguza mipango ya Tanzania kuuza umeme nje ya nchi na sekta ya utalii inayotarajiwa kukua hadi kufikia watalii 2 million.Kenya bado ina kimbembe cha Alshabab bajeti yake itajikita zaidi katika masuala ya ulinzi na usalama.Isitoshe mradi wake wa Lapsset uliobuniwa na Rais Kenyatta upo katika hali mbaya baada ya nchi washirika katika maradi huo kuukimbia.Mfano Ethiopia imekimbilia Djibuti,Uganda,Rwanda na Congo DRC zimetorokea Tanzania ambayo ina ukomavu wa siasa ukilinganisa na Kenya inayotarajiwa kufanya uchaguzi wake 2017.

Naomba kuwasilisha kwa mjadala wa afya na hoja zenye maana si viroja.

Unaweza ukawa na Budget ya $22 bln, Implementation ni $7bln!! Zingine waziri kanunua kalamu ya laki1!

Kenyans are running while Tanzanians are walking, in Tanzania we are lacking competent English Language teachers in our primary and secondary schools and yet we bar them(kenyans) from imparting their knowledge to Tz students/pupils by imposing heavy taxes, I find this absurd.

Kenya inastahili hiyo bajeti na nje ya hapo ningewashangaa sana hao mungiki. Hata ki maendeleo ya viwanda Kenya walitangulia kabla yetu Tz kwa kiasi fulani, sasa msipoipandisha bajeti yenu hivyo viwanda mtavileaje? Ama hamuelewi hata hizo hesabu ndogo ndogo mpaka mfundishwe? si tu kwamba mna bajeti kubwa bali ni kwasababu mnalazimika iwe hivyo hata kama hamtaki. Ni sawa na familia mbili moja ina watoto 5 na nyingine ina watoto 2 alafu eti wakati wa bajeti yule mwenye watoto 5 anamcheka mwenye watoto 2 eti kisa bajeti zao hazilingani. Unaweza ukawa huna akiri ndo ucheke jirani yako, ntakuuliza, ukitaka kuweka bajeti ndogo kama yangu hao wanao 5 utawalisha nini? je unafikiri hiyo bajeti yako ni hiari ama inakulazimu?

Maneno ya hekima na busara haya.
ungeongeza na the fact that viwanda vilivyo Kenya vingi ni foreign owned, na tangu tuanzishe soko la pamoja kumekuwa na trend ya some of them kuhamia huku.
Ningemshauri Mheshimiwa Rais aendelee kuimprove energy and transport infrastructure taratibu tu kitaeleweka!

yaani hata kwa hili swala la bajeti Tz imekua mbwa mwitu??????Macho yenu ya wapi?Mwalimatia na hizo chelewachelewa zenu zitawapa kiwewe.Usije ukabishana na ndovu kunya,manake ukifanya hilo bila shaka utapasuka msamba.

Kenya imekuwa economical powerhouse katika kanda ya afrika mashariki kwa muda mrefu sana na hii ilichangiwa na kutokuwepo kwa ushindani wa nchi nyinginezo....

Kubali kuwa mambo yamebadilika kutokana na nchi nyinginezo kuamka...

Kenya ni jirani yetu na kama huko ni kuzuri kama wanavyosema, tutamiminika kama maji ya mto Nile kwenda miji mbalimbali kama Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kakamega, Mombasa na Nairobi. Kila anayekaa karibu na ua waridi, hunukia vizuri. So no problem if Kenya is doing better than Tanzania.
