PHOTOS - Uhuru has commissioned this massive Sh65 billion superhighway in Nairobi today

[Nicxie]

Kwa heri.
Do you think Chinese will do these studies for you? You are the one to do it. Even the feasibility study it's you Kenyans you have to do it. If you leave everything to Chinese, I'm telling you again, except another slap like that of SGR.

Continue lamenting brother. Why are feeling our pain btw?

Uchumi wa kwenye makaratasi.

Huyu mbwa naye chenye anajua tu I makaratasi. Get a life, if you didn't go beyond nursery school to get some chicken brain. All you are portraying is utter Danganyikaism

 

[Depay]

mrembo mambo we ndie ulio olewa south na basha?

Takataka kama wewe mwenye underwear mmoja mswazi kengeza una chochote cha kusema na mkenya? You are NOT human. You are cannibals.

Duuu sindano imegusa mfupa. This's why povu jingi.
Please give the insight if the project will cause the GoK debt to swell or not. That was the root of discussion.

Am glad you've stopped being a sissy and manned up, hehehe!! Napenda sana nikiwaamsha hivi, ila mtapata tabu sana because we have like five more projects coming up all based on BOT model, that includes Nairobi to Malaba (town bordering Uganda), dual carriageways and elevated through cities like Nakuru and Eldoret.

 

[Mekatilili]

Timidity is not a virtue. I think those in spectator countries should watch from the sidelines and visit the bookers if they believe that the whole Kenyan endeavor is misguided!

This is a great project!

Twambieni hii barabara inaanzia mtaa upi inakatisha wapi na kupitia wapi ili tuelewe vizuri

It starts at JKIA (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport) going to James Gichuru in westlands where it will join a new superhighway called Waiyaki Way (Under Construction). It is different because it will be the first and only double decker elevated highway outside south africa in sub saharan africa. Find below an example of an elevated highway in shanghai.

The project involves upgrading Mombasa road to an eight lane highway from mlolongo township upto ole sereni from where the double decker highway begins on top of uhuru highway snaking its way through Nairobi CBD all the way to Rironi.

For those who ask how this will be financed, it is private money not a loan or grant. A survey was done before launching to find out if kenyans are willing to pay to use a toll road 65% responded in the affirmative, 20% were not decided until they see the project, the rest responded in the negative. The range given by respondents on the amount they are willing to pay ranged from kshs 50-200 per day, it has been decided to settle at kshs 155 per day per car. This will enable the private investor to get back their money and make a small profit then transfer the road to the government.

Mkuu tukubali tumeshindwa,hii ni Superhighway indeed

Hiyo itakuwa completed december 2023!

No, expected date of completion will be in 2021(unless the investor wants to lose money). Private investors are more efficient than government. This is a private project

We should have lots of them around, elevated through our cities, some of us are more than willing to pay that toll fee since amount of time saved when pursuing deals is awesome.

Juzi I had an appointment in Athi River, left my home two hours early worrying of notorious Mombasa road, I was so amazed by how I didn't get stuck anywhere and arrived at the meeting way too early that just had to get bored.

Our country economic growth will improve into double digit if we ensure swift movement of our people.

I concur, in fact Nairobi loses about 60 million shillings daily due to traffic snarl ups, some passengers have missed flights due to traffic. This will change all that and also make JKIA a preferred hub in the region, we also need such in Mombasa and Nakuru.

You, at least, seem to understand the rules of the game regarding PFI/PPP. It's good that you mentioned about a study on willingness to pay. Also the study on ability to pay is important.

Again being financed by private party does not mean that the GoK has no liability on that arrangement. Yes GoK has a responsibility, this's why during the financial closure, the SPV needs a guarantee from the GoK to avail it before the bank so as to be given the money. The guarantee assures the financier of the project that once the project company fails to honour its obligations to service the loan, the GoK will step in to pay without any further notice.

The cash motivation is only thing that makes people to feel that money is not coming from GoK. Yaa it's true, the GoK will not set aside any budget for this project like other conventional or traditional procurements. But it has big commitment regarding the project.

Hata hivyo PPPs are good way of providing public assets. But it should not make the public to relax and leave everything to private party. If left to private sectors, then in future we will witness a good number of public assets to be owned by private comparator in expense of citizens.
