kenya unlike Tz and Nigeria has never and will not have debt problem.We have never defaulted or ask for debt forgiviness.Our debt to gdp has always been around 30-60% of our gdp.Our sgr has attained 5yr projections in just 1yr.We are running 4 passenger trains daily.We are running about 14 cargo trains daily.This is in just one year.Chinese have agreed to finance the remaining part of SGR coz kenya is not a banana republic.

rvp2018:
Kenya began 2018 with maiden cargo train and two passenger train on its greenfield SGR..we kept adding a train every month and as of now..we ran 30 cargo trains and 4 passenger trains daily.Ethiopia who began two years early are still on 2 or 1 train.Kenya by end of 2019 will transport 8m cargo thro sgr..25% of all cargo...and 5yrs earlier than projected.Lets not talk about Nigeria sgr...still under construction 10yrs later and whatever is operational can barely do a trip.Kenya SGR from MSA to NBO was constructed in record 3yrs..2yrs ahead of schedule...and is already 5yrs ahead of projection in the cargo its handling.Nigeria took 6yrs to construct Abuja kaduna...mere 200km..took another 2yrs to start operation and 2yrs later it has carried 900k passenger.Kenya SGR in one & half year had carried 2m passengers...6m tonnes of cargo in a year. KENYA CAN NEVER BE COMPARED TO NIGERIA OR WORSE THE LAZY NEIGHBOUR TANZANIA.Yes we dont have oil or gold or diamond but we make our tea & flowers count by using our brains & muscles...human capital is the greatest resource.Ethiopia already asked for 20yr extension to repay sgr..we are asking for more loans.

Spot the difference between Kenya SGR and Abuja-Kaduna SGR (and not the massive Lagos-Ibadan SGR still under construction).

Even with the fact that we only run passenger trains . We don’ t have freight to move from Kaduna to Abuja, yet the system still made over 400% revenue.
Now imagine how Lagos-Ibadan SGR would be as its been connected to the Port?

Ibrahimanis:

Although it was initiated 2006/2007, Construction started 2011-2014 so it took four years to construct Abuja kaduna line which is double track btw not single track like your overpriced line.

Kenya has oil, it also has gold, stop lying.

tylann:

That is what i was telling them kenya has never defaulted on debt payment
Unlike tz which has always had it is debt forgiven

Even though Kenyans might not want to believe, I've heard/read many times that Kenya is just filling a "void" until Ethiopia comes of age. Ethiopia is the real regional power in East Africa. It just have to get it's sh*t right.

Dangote refinery will be the world largest

rvp20182:
You took 4 years to construct 200Km railway. You were constructing 50Km of track per year. One minute you claim kenya economy is puny consisting of tea & flowers - the next you claim we have oil, gold and name it. Yes we have probably all minerals but in very minute quantities they are as good as non-existent. We have not sold single oil barrel.

rvp20182:
56 trillion is 160B dollars.Kenya Mpesa alone is trending towards 80b dollars

tylann:

And marrying 12 year old girls

rvp20182:
NIgera has had similar debt crisis like TZ - and have had most of their debts forgiven - for simply being so hopeless unable to ever pay.The worst kenya have ever done is to ask for debt rescheduling.

sufferNsmiling:


she was 9 or 10 year not 12 years old

Kazikazi:
Ethiopian economy grows faster than Kenyan

Ethiopian GDP is larger than Kenyan

Kenya is more indebted than Ethiopia

tylann:

None

As much as Naijjans hate per capita its compulsory for comparisons! Kenyans and other literate people can see what it means when your pop 4x ours handles only half our total mobile money.

160 bn $ for 180 mn people works out to 890 $ per capita per year

80bn$ for 48 mn is 1670 $ per capita per year. As usual almost twice in everything meaningful!

Kazikazi:
That speed is slow.

We are doing Geo technical studies. That is the early stages of construction.

tylann:


Too low but none of your trains can match that

Yobeezy:



More than 60% of Kenya's debt is domestic.

gallivant:
Nairobi

Yobeezy:


Please be arguing of something which is 100% ready on the ground,not paper projects.
You're taking just a year to erect an SGR pillar and you have the guts to talk poo about others.

tylann:

Tell us more about our oil and gold and how much kenya earns by selling them
Our line is not overpriced stop talking lies boy
Our line is single and can do double stacking
So why construct double track while you can construct single which can do double stacking

Ibrahimanis:

Per capita, right. OK let's do debt per capita, sounds like fun.

Nigeria's debt 74bn = 370

Kenya's debt 50bn = 1000.

Wow, you guys better start working your ass off! Each of you owe 1000 dollars!

Ibrahimanis:

Really? Mind sharing your source?

Kazikazi:
Is this a pillar??

You imported 5000 Chinese workers to build a diesel powered SGR of less than 500 km? Where are Kenyans artisans? You lack technical know how!

rvp2018:
Add nigeria state debt...our counties have near zero debts maybe pending bills.

yes most of kenya debt is treasury bonds
