Kenya-Tanzania plans road linking Malindi and Bagamoyo

[elbarik]

NAIROBI, KENYA: The start of a mega road project connecting Kenyan and Tanzanian coastal towns faces delay as Kenya drags its feet in moving the project forward. The two countries plan to build a 412km road between Malindi and Bagamoyo that is expected to ease movement along the two countries' coastlines.

Kenya this month started the process of recruiting contractors to undertake feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments while Tanzania has already concluded some of the critical studies. The project has been in the pipeline for a while now and was expected to start early last year and completed in 36 months. According to the African Development Bank (AfDB), Tanzania has outpaced Kenya in the preliminary planning, which could delay the commencement of the project that was expected to start later this year.

Tanzania has been moving faster that Kenya in preparing for the start of the project,” said Director General of East Africa Regional Development and Business Delivery Office at AfDB Gabriel Negatu.

He spoke when the bank signed an agreement with Diamond Trust Bank that will see the latter get a Sh7.5 billion loan from the pan-African development finance institution for onward lending to small businesses. While the final studies are expected to inform the project cost, it has been estimated to cost $750 million (Sh75 billion), making it one of the largest projects that the two countries have undertaken jointly. AfDB will finance about 70 per cent of the project while the two countries will foot the balance, with each country expected to pay for construction works on its side of the border.

Kwanini Kenya is dragging its feet, hamtaki wa Pwani watembeleane? Au mnaogopa Tanga itachukuwa biashara ya Mombasa na Malindi?

Ingekuwa ni sisi ndio tunalega-lega ungesikia maneno ya kila aina. Lakini wao wameshaanza kushtuka huu mradi utakuja kuwamaliza huko pwani. Ndio maana wanagusa breki wakati wa kupanda mlima.

Don't believe everything you read. Mimi Niko malindi for easter, ntajaribu kupiga picha kuonyesha vibanda vyote , billboards, misitu, nyasi zimeondolewa au kuvunjwa kando ya Barbara all the way to Malindi, pia ukifika opposite malindi airport kuna hadi fence za ukuta zimebomolewa, kuna watu walikua wamejenga viduka vya mawe kando ya Barbara , vyote zimebomolewa ...... Yote hayo ni kwasababu ya matayarisho ya hio barabara

Tatizo lako wewe na wakenya wengi kwa ujumla mpo very mechanical, very manual, very analogy. Hapa kinachozunhumzwa ni planning, ikimaanisha intellectual part of the project ambayo ni paper works which are invisible by outsiders kama wewe, bila intellectual part kukamilika, hata mkivunja nchi nzima, mradi hauwezi kufanyika, kwasababu hakuna mfadhali atakayetoa pesa yake eti kwasababu ameona vibanda na nyumba zimevunjwa.

Aliyekuambia 'physical work' zozote Kenya kama bomoa bomoa huwa zinaanza kabla ya mipango yote kukamilika ni nani? Unadhani haya ni yale migizo yenu ya juisi na pipi?
