This is it. Blog blog blog? Forget about the blog and show me the roads in Kenya. Show me just five 10 lane roads in zoo kenya and I will show you double in Nigeria?

Developed per capita? Never heard of such an index. Abuja lacks all the modern conveniences of a city. For starters there is no central water or sewage system and majority rely heavily on generators for electricity. It's just an organized mess!

...

You are talking about degree students,I'm talking of international schools. The two are different!

vaxx1:
wherever you will like to change the argument . it still doesn't make it sell well. your flawed understanding make it incomprehensible

I'm talking about international schools and not international students. You lack comprehension SIGH!

This is not an achievement? Having an expensive school does not equate high inbound mobility . How much is Kenya receiving annually on education? This sound more logical..... they are school in Ghana that charge as high as 24 to 25 thousand dollars annually, so it not a biggy .

Nairobi has emerged as the most expensive city in Africa for elite schools with fees hitting a Sh2.89 million ($28,479) high per year on the back of growing demand for international education, a newly-released report shows.

The analysis by International Schools Database shows that out of the six African cities surveyed, Kenya’s capital had the highest average fee as well as the most expensive fees charged, rivalled only by Cairo.

“This isn’t entirely surprising, since there is a high demand for international education in Kenya,” notes the report.

The trend also signals that Kenyan parents are increasingly embracing international education to give their children a better chance at upward mobility and set them up for admissions to top universities abroad.

Cairo, Egypt’s capital rivals Nairobi for most expensive prices with its maximum price for international education just under the $25,000 (about Sh2.6 million) mark, making it the second highest of the African cities surveyed.


The average fee for Nairobi’s schools, however, dropped to Sh733,394 compared to Sh902,000 last year. Cairo came in second at an average Sh606,253 while neighbouring Kampala was fourth at Sh495,056.

The minimum fees charged in Nairobi sat at Sh272,864 per annum with Kampala having the cheapest international schools charging a minimum Sh53,110 per annum.

Overall, Cape Town offers the cheapest median prices for international schools in Africa.

Nairobi’s high fees have seen institutions charge more on average than European cities such as Amsterdam and Copenhagen. South Africa’s Johannesburg and Cape Town have the most affordable international schools globally.

The International Schools Database uses the whole price of a full term for one 6-year old child, excluding once-off costs such as enrolment fees and application fees to calculate the cost.

Increased demand has attracted new players to Kenya’s lucrative private education segment, including Nova Pioneer and Sabis International School that is partly owned by Centum Investment Company Plc.

The high returns in the sector have also led to increased interest from investment firms.

Private equity firm Fanisi Capital has signed an agreement to sell Hillcrest International Schools to Dubai-based GEMS Education for Sh2.6 billion(260m USD), marking the latest deal in the high-end private education industry.

This was following a deal between a consortium led by PE firm AfricInvest sold Brookhouse School to UK-based PE fund Educas for Sh3.6 billion(360M USD) in 2015, making it one of the biggest transactions in Kenya’s high-end education sector.

That's why I said not so much considering that area should house both Nigeria and Ghana.

Moody's on Kenyas Economy

“By contrast, Kenya's credit strengths include its diversified economy with multiple growth sources, favourable growth prospects and demonstrated resilience to shocks,” said Moody’s.

The rating agency said that the stable outlook reflects its expectation of relatively strong economic growth, counterbalanced by large fiscal deficits and debt.

It noted that strong external buffers — including foreign exchange reserves covering close to six months of imports — mitigate the country’s vulnerability to a worsening in the external environment.

Among the strengths the country has, the agency noted, are a diversified economy with multiple growth sources, favourable prospects and resilience to shocks. Others factors are the deep capital markets and a mature financial sector relative to regional peers.

The strong capital and financial markets affords the government greater capacity to issue securities domestically, that is, in local currency and with long tenors. Currently the longest tenor is 30 years.

Nairobi — Kenya has been ranked fifth on the Climatescope survey owing to its extensive renewable energy value chain.

The BloombergNEF sponsored report finds that Kenya accounted for over a third of all 2018's foreign clean energy investment into sub-Saharan Africa.

That year, Kenya recorded its highest ever clean energy investment with US$1.4 billion attracted for geothermal, wind and solar plants.

Additionally, non-hydro renewables accounted for 38 percent of the country's capacity and 49 percent of generation.

Kenya was ranked behind India, Chile, Brazil and China.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
It is now a while since I visited Kenya but from this video I can see Kenya is a developed country. Does train wagons are double containers which are designed 80 tons per wagon that means Kenya's sgr is industrial grid. Don't want my country is building is Light Railway which has a maximum capacity of 15 tons per wagon. Normal railway has a capacity of 50 tons per wagon. It looks like Kenya went to build a industrial of railway which can accept double containers power wagon this is a very industrial move even in Britain you cannot find this their railway can only hold 50 tons per wagon at the London Underground is only 15 tons per wagon. Even when I am in Europe now are railway cannot accept double containers on a wagon it has a maximum load of 50 tons for every wagon

Kenya

Evacuating power from the 700 million US dollars wind power project in Turkana was not an easy feat. The team encountered harsh terrain when building the overhead power lines and the plant but it was worth it in the end!

That's a bad use of water!

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
When you show spraying water you are making me cry. Where I am we had a freak Winter Storm which came very early and I did not put antifreeze in the irrigation pipes now all the pipes are frozen solid I might have to wait 2 to 3 days for it to defrost no irrigation for about 3 days. This Winter Storm just came from nowhere at night early in the morning there is at least one feet of snow everywhere

The power lines along the track will be for powering the railway line in case we decide to for an electrical SGR.
