The government has now turned to the African Union (AU) as it seeks investors and regional support for the Sh2.5 trillion Lamu Port-Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (Lapsset) project.

Launched in 2012 during former President Mwai Kibaki's regime, the mega project has been marred with cash constraints and lack of political good-will which has slowed down its implementation.

Ethiopia is seen to have shifted focus to the port of Djibouti. Road and rail infrastructure between the two countries including the Ethio-Djibouti railway passenger and freight system, which commenced on January 1, 2018, seem to have also shifted interest away from the Lapsset corridor.

Sasa mbona hawajaweka wazi, support ipi wanayohitaji toka AU?. Kama ni pesa wajue ni sawa na kubisha hodi katika nyumba kule Turkana kuomba chakula.

"The Kenyan corridor, which already has buy-in from Ethiopia and South Sudan,will link up transport networks in the Central African Republic and Cameroon.
The Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) will be a formidable enabler for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which became operational on July 7, this year. " ~ Raila Odinga (African Union Commission’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development )

Raila as the AU’s special envoy planned to convene a high-level meeting with the countries that fall along Africa’s equatorial land bridge later in the year with the aim of forming these crucial transport infrastructure linkages within the continent

Keep dreaming Ethiopia has just launched a gas pipeline project to Djibouti!

Lapsset is bigger than a pipeline, you bongolalas never seize to amaze. It includes a port (Lamu), an international airport (Isiolo-completed and operational), sgr link (Yet to start), Two highways to ethiopia and south sudan (all under construction), resort city at isiolo, join city by Kenya and ethiopia at Moyale, Lamu industrial city and park(Proposed), Pipeline and internet connections to ethiopia and south sudan via the kenyan fibre optic cable network. As you can see you lazy people, a pipeline is just one part and ethiopia is not abandoning lamu port in fact their primeminister praises Lamu port as a game changer for ethiopia and it will be the most reliable route given the past political tension between its current routes to the port.

Uwe unajipa muda kidogo wa kufikiria kabla hujajibu, usidhani kuna faida kubwa kwa kuweka "comments" nyingi zisikokua na uzito, watu wengi hawatozisoma. Nimeuliza ni support gani "specifically" Kenya ingependa kupata toka AU?.

Lapsset has already been dubbed "The great equatorial land bridge" by the African development bank, ethiopian prime minister and south sudan (salva kiir). A cornerstone of the Africa free trade agreement.

Miradi yote ya Kenya kutoka bandari za Mombasa na Lamu hadi kwenye mradi wa LAPPSET kwa ujumla ni strategic sana kwa ukanda huu na Afrika pia. Ule mradi wa China 'Silk road' utaifanya Kenya kuwa entry point ya route na mizigo yote ya Afrika.

Hizi ndoto zenu za kujipa matumaini ya hovyo ndizo zinazoifanya Kenya kuingia katika matatizo kila siku. Viongozi wenu wanatumia pesa hovyo kama kupeleka delegation kubwa kuliko nchi zote duniani huko USA, hata wakati wa kombe la dunia huko Urusi, wabunge wenu wengi sana walienda kwa pesa za serikali, badala ya kuzungumzia mambo hayo ili pesa zitumike vizuri, mnafikiria mambo ambayo hayana dalili zozote kufanyika.
