Its not Uhuru who is corrupt its his
Family
Friends and Employees
Even his deputy

Uhuru just allows it to happen

If he fights corruption He will get supporr from Every kenyan

If he Turns blind eye he still gets support so Haoni haja ya Kupigania nchi kama Lolote litakalo tendeka bado atakuwa usukani

Thr good news is
Opposition recorded 7.4mn voters Registered
The ruling Party 7mn (it was in yesterdays standard paper)

Jubilee considers
Meru
Nakuru
Kericho
Sotik as its strong holds

Am in Nakuru and i will think otherwise ... anyway Sinashida Na Uhuru personally Ninashida na Rende yake TOTAL THIEFS

Mnataka tren zenye ubora au nzuri kimuonekano..?

treni hizi hazina ubora wowote ule....they use diesel meaning they go against modern international carbon emissions specifications....secondly, the passenger train max speed is 160Kmh compared to Morocco's 320Kmh.....they also dont seem like they have long life (durability)...

Tell us how much you know about them from your experience in the field of engineering,because your eyes seem to be knowing so much..........

do you need to be an engineer to know that these trains are diesel-powered and therefore will emit greenhouse gases like choking carbon iv oxide to the atmosphere? we are in the middle of a drought...am sure ata hujaoga wiki mbili...why? greenhouse gases....ata mvua inachelewa....people are dying from drought....china is one of themain contributors of climate change...we still buy trains from them... do you need to be an engineer to read the specs of these trains to understand that they should not be bought in 2017...more like 2005...apart from their poor aesthetics, they are also not efficient...

But i think there are plans for the electrification of the line right,to a maximum speed of approx 260km/hr
plus Kenya does not have enough electricity to power them now right?
So far seeing all work undeway is really tantalizing right?Especially the grand stations
I fail to understand why we cannot really appreciate and give credit where it is due
Kenya is not china now economically,we are on a path to transformation and" great things come in small quantities",Rome was not built on a single day.
Beauty will always be in the eyes of the beholder.So i will never board a train just because it looks kinda ugly but it goes at a higher speed of over 160km/hr and rather board a North Rift shuttle which is aesthetically pleasing but with a maximum speed of 10km/hr?

The fixation with Morocco smacks of ignorance but i can not blame you since you may be Ndii's student. Like Mekatilili said before me, stop comparing apples with oranges and invest in the pursuit of discernment.
Maybe these might help
The diesel vs. electric debate: Which is better?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...e-with-diesel-on-North-Island-main-trunk-line
the debate would be a nullity if the government opted for electric trains, our power production capacity notwithstanding
Its electric right?

Or Ethiopia's

But somehow the comparison must be between our SGR and Morocco HSR because Ndii said it and he is an economist

Lazima aende zake!...ametutia hasara ya kuhangaika tena kutafuta treni nzuri siku za usoni.
Something we would have just done once and move on the next agenda....amekula hela sana hapa, yeye na huyo fisadi mwenzake!

Waondoke upesi!

Mkuu locomotive na mabehewa ya passengers na mizigo unaweza kununua popote Duniani, cha muhimu katika ujenzi wa reli ni: Permanent way na Stations - hicho wenzetu Kenya mmefanikiwa sana - Wachina wamewajengea reli nzuri kimuonekano vile vile Railway Stations zenu ni za kisasa kabisa,hata kama kuna ujanja ujanja umefanyika katika manunuzi ya vitu fulani vya Project binafsi naona hiyo ni sikitu sana cha muhimu kazi nzuri imefanyika na inaonekana hata kwa kipofu.

Hapa kwetu Tanzania sioni kama tutaweza kuwafikia baada ya kufanya blunder ya kutotaka kuelewana na Wachina katika Ujenzi wa reli ya kati, logic iliyo tumika kuwahengua Wachina silewi kabisa, reli unapashwa kujengwa seamlessly siyo in piecemeal mara kipande fulani ajenge Muispaniola/Mreno nyingine Mturuki nyingine Muitaliano kila contractor analeta reli na mataruma sijui na ballast zake yaani vurugu tupu!

Tuwe wakweli hapa atuwezi kujenga reli kama tunavyo jenga barabara, I am not a prophet of doom lakini sioni kama Project hii itakamilika salama, wapishi wamekuwa wengi mno na lengo la Wizara/Serikali linaweza kuwa ni zuri kinadhalia lakini binafsi sioni kama litafanikiwa kutuvusha the rubbicon - kama tutashindwa kuelewana na Wachina wakatujengea reli na Railway Stations za kisasa - sioni kama tutafika mbali, tusije tukajidanganya hapa.

Kama kuna tatizo na macontractors wa Kichina katika ukokotoaji wa gharama za ujenzi wa reli ya kati kwa nini Waziri Mkuu au Rais mwenyewe awaendi Uchina wakakutana na Ti Xing Ping wakamweleze dukuduku lao wakamalizana kistaarabu ili Wachina watujengee reli instead of avoiding them au kuwalahumu in Public as if Chinese are hell bent kutuibia, hii ndiyo impression ya some Govt Officials wayanayo tao kwenye media.

Juzi juzi hapa nilimsikia Govt Official mmoja anazungumzia ujenzi wa Bandari ya Bagamoyo sikuamini masikio yangu - yaani ni as if kuna mchezo wa cat and mouse baina ya Wachina na Wizara ya mawasiliano na ujenzi - wanawategeshea Wachina watasema nini na wao watawa counter na majibu gani - unaweza kufikiri wako wahakamani! Cwani Serijali ina-contribute nini katika ujenzi wa Bandari ya B'moyo zaidi ya kutoa aridhi au ndiyo tunataka paendelee kubaki pori la kufugia Simba na Tembo - tusipo ekewana na Wachina watakwenda kuhenga Bandari Lamu au Msumbiji mbano kuna nataifa nengi ya Kiafrika wanatamani Wachina waende kuwekeza nchini mwao.

Tabia yetu ya kutaka kukwaluzana na Wachina unneccessarly siyo nzuri hata kidogo I am sorry kulisema hilo, atuwezi ku afford kukwaluzana au kuwasema vibaya Wachina Taifa ambalo ni la pili Duniani kwa Uchumi mkubwa, tukiwa nao karibu watatuendeleza kiuchumi/kiviwanda kitu ambacho marafiki wetu wa hivi karibuni si rahisi kutuendeleza kivile zaidi ya kusign M.O.U nao basi baadae makubaliano yanafungiwa kabatini na kuendelea ku-gather dust.

Leo hii nimemuona Waziri Mkuu na Viongozi wengine wakiwashukuru na kuwasifia Wachina kuja Nchini kutujengea kiwanda kikubwa cha Saruji, actually wanasema kitakuwa ni one of the biggest Kiwanda in East an Southern Africa, niliona kila mtu alifurahia ujio wa Wachina kwenye ujenzi wa kiwanda ambacho kita ajili vijana wengi - ajabu iliyoje!! Kwenye ujenzi wa viwanda, barabara na madaraja ya Kigamboni hilo tunaliona ni sawa, lakini likija suala la ujenzi wa reli ya kati tanawawekea mizengwe chungu nzima - Watanzania tukoje lakini? tutakuja juta nawambieni.

You seem to believe that only the Chinese can build a good railway with aesthetic stations, i disagree, you can't just let yourself be ripped off by China just because it is the 2nd largest economy in the world. The railway will be built in phases and whoever gets whatever part of the project will adhere to the standard specified. Personally sioni kibaya chochote and i don't share your views that we should give it to the Chinese even if they're ripping us off. Jury's still out but i think with proper supervision the end goal will be achieved, lets not be a gloomy Gus

infact, the wealth he has was stolen by his father....the Kenyatta family in general is cursed...plus uhuru was the country's finance minister before he was prezzo...he was always caught up in scandals as finance minister..... OMG! the land this family has!!!! hakuna mtu aliye na akili timamu anaweza sema Jomo Kenyatta acquired this land legally...fast forward to 2017 and the govt is stealing left right and centre...health ministry lost $50Million, NYS lost $18Million, (this is in US Dollars BTW) etc....OH and the Deputy president built a $40Million USD country home...where did this money come from?

What the hell, my brother....I hope what you are alleging here is true. I never knew Kenya kuna wizi like so? Man, how is Africa really going to develop if we continue embracing leaders like these? These phony leaders don't develop our countries, yet they still want to remain in power to harass us. We need an uprising for sure.

My dear Kenyan brothers and sisters, poleni sana. Never have I thought kuwa Uhuru is a corrupt leader simply because he comes from a rich family. Yaani Uhuru kwa kweli disappointed me, I liked this guy as I thought he was smart and moving Kenya forward with his quick and aggressive thinking. I hope you guys are right with your accusations. Let me ask Magufuli and Kagame to influence your election this year like what Russia did to US election. Poleni sana mazee.
