how can you pay your debts when most of the so called projects are running at lost, when you hardly have Good foreign reserves to support various operations , don't you know that you need FX, to help Forex serves is in meeting the international finance obligations including sovereign and commercial debts, financing of imports. It helps in boosting the confidence of the market in the ability of a country to meet its external obligations.
how do you intend to repay your debts knowing fully well that your projects are seriously running at lost,and your only port is at the risk of been taken over by china?

We are not in a debt crisis! So you have high foreign reserves but a way low tax to GDP ratio? Why shouldn't we not talk about that?

Nairobi has such!

Facebook is about to open its data centre for Sub-Saharan Africa in Nairobi!

Nairobi was the only African city to appear on their shortlist of 21 hubs throughout the world for 2015.
Intelligent Community Forum co-founder Robert Bell says: "We see a strong foundation being put into place [in Nairobi]: sensible, pro-growth government policy, a more diversified economy, and an innovation ecosystem of startups, international companies and universities.


"Nairobi certainly has the opportunity to build an exciting future for its citizens, businesses and institutions."

I doubt this your figure.

Even in boreholes,you should be smart in drilling them!

“To sustain the few existing boreholes you have to limit their number per area. One of the licensing condition is to limit the distance from one borehole to another to 800 metres so that we do not have dead boreholes because most firms compete for supply from the same sources,”

Just30:
Do yo know what happens when everyone drills boreholes

the water table goes down and down
that cant be a smart way of living.

That's why investing heavily in education and tech is important!

what is the essence of building smart city without building smart people ?

They may not be totally perfect smart cities but Nairobi and Capetown do rank above most in Africa and the world.For instance in 2015,Nairobi was position 21 worldwide-that tells you something!

stanliwise:
Hahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahshahhahahahaha

I can't stop laughing.... hahah see your poor definition of smart city hahahahhahahaha.
so this is what you have in mind when we are talking about smart city.

Answer this:
1. Does Nairobi have a detailed database of it citizen?
2. Are there tele-medicine and remote healthcare for majority of Nairobi citizens?
4. Does Nairobi or capetown have smart urban lightning
5. How intelligent is Nairobi transport system and traffic management, smart buses. cars etc
6. Does citizens now rely on technology for driving, touring, payment of tax.
7. Does capetown and Nairobi have sound management systems.
8. Can you rate Nairobi and capetown power management 80%

This is just a few of the list as if you notice Nairobi and Cape town has little bit of everything but they are at the infant stage. Stop trying to be a fanatic.

The CCTV camera footage of both Dusit and Westgate attacks can be readily fetched.This wouldn't happen in Nigeria as the power would have probably been off during the attack time making the cameras off!

rvp2018:
When you're done planning - and your city doesn't rank bottom - kindly let us know. Again renders of planned smart cities do not mythical transform into reality.

FOCUS ON ELECTRICITY.

I think mergers will be the next big thing in Kenya.Mergers create big players with enough muscles to survive and to grow further.I think counties should be merged and halved from the current 47 thus creating huge economies of scale! rvp2018

This might be the reason why Nairobi is the smartest City in Africa https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001236780/nairobi-named-most-intelligent-city-in-africa

stanliwise:
stop calling Singapore. tell me what is smart in Cape town and Nairobi.

Kigali is overrated.People talk of Rwanda as if it's Mauritius!

tylann:
What about Kigali or the south African cities

Long suspected that curve was to make room for that Mountain to be in Tanzania!

rvp2018:
It not even 20Kms - that mountain is literally in KenyaTZ border - British Queen donated it to a German Prince(TZ short-lived colonizer) because Kenya already had Mt Kenya- the boundary literally make a curve in Mt Kilimanjaro.

Someone hasn't understood what a smart City must entail!

samsobo24:
kenyans can only dream if having a smart like EAC
Kenya and Nairobi lacks the funding if Even developing banana island.
Watch as my kenyan brother begins to rant two tower, when the EAC is already 40% completed.
Soon Africa's tallest building maybe 72 or 77 will be constructed.
My kenyans should just run along into mathare or kibera slums

Hahahaha

Nairobi is closest to anything a smart City an African country can boast off!

It has already been declared Africa's smartest City!

stanliwise:
you don't know what a smart city is. Even Dubai is not yet considered a smart city and you are here mentioning south-Africa. please define a smart city let us start from there.

The mountain lies 20km off the Kenyan boarder in Tanzania!

vaxx:
whao, impressive. you guys are even close to mountain Kilimanjaro in Tanzania

It has already.CS Macharia was overseeing the progress of a certain house development in Nyeri that is potentially linked to it

The housing deductions will start on March.By June we should be already on it actively.

tylann:
Has the construction started for the affordable housing
Mwangi kiunjuri is not suitable for the agriculture docket

That means that Ghana is fairly low it terms of altitude.We have plenty of hills in Kenya going up to 3000 metres!

vaxx:
mountain afjato. it is. the highest mountains in Ghana standing at an elevation of 885 metres (2,904 ft.

Affordable housing is on already.The only thing holding it back was the 1.5% levy deduction.What we are waiting is the official opening of the programme by the president.

I don't know much about Ethiopia's manufacturing,what I know is that they have lately been getting lot's of FDI's in their manufacturing sector.The irrigation scheme hasn't still lived up,the CS for Agriculture hasn't impress me a bit.He's one of the weak links in Uhuru's cabinet!

Let's hope the many big dams on construction will turnaround our agriculture!

tylann:
By now only the universal healthcare coverage
Has been rolled out
Construction of 500k houses has been postponed over and over again
Food security what happened to gulana kulalu irrigation it turned out to be a mega white elephant
What about manufacturing Ethiopia is doing much better than us

Let's hope Matiang'i and his weekly reports to the president will change how the governments operates! I know the guy is hardheaded and doesn't condone below-par performance!

tylann:
It is high time he starts implementing it
Time is against him
Only 3 years remaining
He should have done this during his first term
It could have been a more realistic goal

Whenever a Kenyan president is about to leave office in his final term-that's when "MY LEGACY" pops into his mind.If only all our civil servants worked with that 'legacy mentality',we would have been very far by now!

tylann:
It is high time he starts implementing it

To: All Kenyans in the thread!


''Details have emerged of President Kenyatta’s strategy to secure his legacy-defining Big Four agenda.

A Treasury dossier obtained yesterday by the Star outlined the government’s plan to roll out multi-billion projects, in only four years.

Critics have repeatedly claimed the Jubilee administration could be biting more than it can chew.

The Big Four is grounded on food security, affordable housing, manufacturing, and universal healthcare.

The 2019 Draft Budget Policy Statement proposes to spend Sh5.6 trillion in financial years 2019/20 – 2021/22.''


https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2019/02/08/uhuru-to-spend-sh2-trillion-on-big-four_c1891346


The Uhuru's legacy battle continues. The man wants to leave behind a 'legacy' just like his predecessor President Emilio Mwai Kibaki. I'm afraid corruption may deter him but from the looks of things,the president has off-late been working his socks off.

Imagine if everything falls into place! The 2018/2019 2019/2020 budget policy statements sounds AMBITIOUS and business unusual!

The budget policy statements : http://www.treasury.go.ke/component/jdownloads/category/198-2018-2019.html?Itemid=-1

It's a she. Let's just leave it. Getting an answer is not my right.

Well
The railway track will be passing through Suswa in Rift Valley province, I'm yet to be informed of any mitigation measure the engineers have taken in case a fault cuts through the railway line!

NairobiWalker:
Like Nakuru in Kenya. Due to faultlines, you can't construct skyscrapers in Nakuru but still remains one of the most beautiful cities in East Africa and many consider it the most livable city in Kenya.

Pretty much!

Lionessza6:
Cut it off ?.
You seem to be the one leading this retarded rat race . Are you done?

Cut it off then!

I guess we will just keep on running on circles!

Lionessza6:
Ofcourse we are living in bondage and waiting for the mighty Kenyans to come with their big brains and muscles to rescue us , isn't this a genuine plea from us ?. Can I move to Kenya and enjoy less discrimination ?, I'm hopeless here .

So there is no any sort of discrimination against the black South African's?

i thought that was a genuine question? I bet Malema silently speaks for the black majority?

Lionessza6:
LMFAO , black hopeless in south Africa? This coming from a Kenyan?.....I'm Dead . We are doing nothing , just waiting for the mighty Kenyans to come and give us hope and life , afterall they have done it all, the industrious ones we look up to or envy . Please show us the black South African fools how it's done lol. Triggered ? . Sweetheart don't overate yourself just yet, .

vaxx has done this a bazillion times.Why would I repeat stuff?

edon21:
show me the pictures of Accra central area

But but why would one get triggered? We are actually working on that mountain of shite as far as tribalism is concerned! What are you doing to address the 'black hopelessness' in South Africa as some might call it? Or is it a hoax that is just kept up by the media? Wouldn't mind hearing from you about this!

Lionessza6:
LMFAO yeah right . Like I said before, criticize but don't let the privilege get to your fckn heads, not when you have a mountain of embarassing shyt in your background as well.

Size of a city means dog shite! I would choose Accra against any Nigerian City any day of the week!

samsobo24:
My Friend, don't be shameless to talk of Accra when we talk cities

PH central area is 369km
Lagos 1,171km
Uyo is 362km
Abuja is 1,769km
Accra 60km

You can see that Ghana's village is below the pecking order.Uyo city is light years ahead of Accra in development.

Ghana's Accra shouldn't be brought in when there's city in comparison

I will just only show you PH city vs Accra.
You can go to search my last posts to see everything in full.

Its beyond just glorifying arguements with mouth
