I hope they drop that notion before they get back. BRT may be working in Dar but if they try it in Nairobi it will flop. Time to invest in LRT

safi sana...BRT poa sana...ni usafiri wa kisasa ila sijui kama inawiana vema na jiji la Nairobi...we will just have to wait and see...by the way my fellow kenyans, LRT initial phase is planned only for airport to CBD through Syokimau so lets admit that we need high-capacity buses instead of matatus...tuweke ushabik kando my fellow countrymen...these buses are neat, quiet and are cheaper compared to the chaos we have...they employ a tight schedule and have special lanes...even though a poor country,hii BRT has lifted the status of Daresalaam tremendously...we need to adopt it in some places if not the whole of Nairobi...just imagine a combination of LRT and BRT...what a city we shall have! some roads like Outer Ring already have the dedicated lanes for BRT so I say lets do it even though govt hasnt even committed anything to BRT..these are just private businessmen..

Not true, even major cities have both BRT and LRT, even if your GoK will implement LRT I am sure it won't cover even 20% of Nairobi, you will eventually need buses, which I recommend Modern ones not only to efficiently move masses but also to beautify Nairobi.
Improvement of Public transport systems is a very crucial step to decongest traffic jams.
Kama ni Trams ama whatever, kuwe na organised commuters for the public.

Kenya to boost Tanzania’s energy production
By -KARANJA NJOROGE and ANTONY GITONGA | Friday, Aug 9th 2013 at 00:00

Tanzania is looking to Kenya to develop its geothermal potential. A delegation of MPs and State officials is in the country on a one-week tour to learn from Kenya’s expertise in harnessing the renewable energy resource.

Speaking on his tour of the Menengai Geothermal Project in Nakuru, the head of delegation and Chairman of the Tanzanian Parliamentary Committee on Energy and Mining Mr Victor Mwambalaswa said, Tanzania is looking to accelerate its geothermal portfolio to shore up electricity production.

“Kenya already has a classic model of geothermal production that we need to replicate in Tanzania,” Mwambalaswa said.
