You have half our paved roads network

You cant have better road quality when only 5% of your roads are paved and we have almost 40%

We have made our minerals count by having lower poverty than your country and making slums a rearity.

WE have 3 times electricity, almost 2 times the access of your country and almost 3 times the consumption of your country.

we have almost 2 times the access to water than your country, almost 2 times the number of properties in your country.

Better housing, 2 times the size of your country middle class.
We have better health facilities, better education and facilities, a larger SGR network than your country.

Come and see the great housing that even poor people live in and you will know what your country should use it gold for.


so what has kenya used it numerous mineral resources for?

Mkenya2019:
We already overtook in almost everything despite our situation - 89 percent semi arid and no minerals.
We have triple your road network.
We have tripled your trunk road.
We have double your paved road network
We have better road quality than Ghana

If you had any iota of shame left - you'd be asking why South Africa, Botswana and Namibia made their minerals count?

And why Ghana the world leading gold producers look anything but gold.

gallivant:
It would be easier to just post it again. End all doubts.

[/s]

How will your roads be bad as Ghana when Ghanaian roads have always been better than your country?

Your roads are still terrible until you are able to pave it up to at least 50%

you dont need minerals to build roads...all you need is for your gov't to use it revenues to build roads instead of packing it into one family account.

We have used both out mineral resources and human resources to pave more roads than your country...


Your country has had gold, titanium and rear earth minerals for centuries but look, your country remain roadless

Mkenya2019:
So because Kenya is in the list - the list is bogus.
Even if WEF uses surveys - people cannot just claim their roads are good quality - if they are NOT.
Check back a few years a go - and you can see Kenya slowly climbing up the road quality index - as the gov double down the investment there.
Our roads use to be as bad as Ghana and Nigeria.
But we fixed it.

Kenya has no minerals worth building even 100kms of tarmac.

You have no excuse why you're not a DEVELOPED COUNTRY.

For centuries you have had GOLD....tonnes of it.

But look - you own gold regulator - is claiming 90 percent is getting smuggled out.

so you believe that Togo has better education than Israel?

jl115:
sorry but no

Ive posted it here before when we first had this discussion

no need going back

everyone already know those facts like Kenya only having half the paved road network of Ghana..

Keep quiet and go build your muddy poor road network country.

gallivant:
Just post your sources and believing you won't be an issue. Simple.

Because WEF usually come up with bogus lists...


So why has Kenya not used it moneies from Gold, Tintanium, rear earth minerals and oil to pave more roads to cath up to Ghana?

Kenya lunatic

Mkenya2019:
It does. Ask South Africa, Namibia, Botswana - what their gold and diamond has done.

Now why is Ghana the leading gold producer, a decent oil producer, aluminium, diamond and name it NOT IN THIS LIST

Are you bonobos? GOLD=MONEY=THAT BUILD ROADS

gallivant:
Same old nonsense. If this is the modus operandi in Ghana your country is based on deceit, and you are getting nowhere just like your neighbour Nigeria. Please style up or shut up.

Tantrums from a country with tiny pave roads and everywhere is just muddy

Does gold, oil and diamond pave roads?

Mkenya2019:
Because we dont have gold, oil, diamond and aluminium.

In the same last 10 years, Ghana has added 20,000km more paved roads

So why are your trunk roads not paved?

WHy is only 6,000km of your highways paved?

Why are your feeder roads largely unpaved?

why are nairobi downtown roads dusty and muddy?

when you pave those, you pave road network will get closer to that of Ghana.

Mkenya2019:
The trunk roads 40km - should be paved.
The main arteries and feeder roads should be paved.
But some will not make sense to pave.
We cannot pave roads to our animal parks for example.
For rural areas - it doesnt make sense to pave every road to the driveway or farms.
Those can remain gravel or murram roads...as long as it well maintanied.

For now focus here -

Sources for your data? Stop pulling numbers out from where the sun don't shine.

I've posted it here before

you can go back in pages

go and pave your country muddy roads, even paved roads in Nairobi looks muddy

Because the road has economic value, it must be paved.

Are you trying to tell us that 235,000km unpaved roads in Kenya goes into farms?

What a useless excuse

5% Paved will in Kenya?

How does that compare to 40,000km of paved roads in Ghana?
Even cocoa and mango farms have paved roads.

Keep ranting like the lunatic you are
The US has more than a majority of it roads paved

Mkenya2019:
What would economic justification to pave a road that go into farms or animal parks?
Roads can be in good all weather conditions.
Focus first on density - build bridges and all that.

We beat Ghana in all road indicators...the rest are usual mad man ranting.

Just see this nonsense

How do you have a motorable road when it is not paved?

No wonder dirt roads is what you guys are used to ..... When you see small road pavement, you rejoyce because it is rear in Kenya.

Mkenya2019:
Roads do not need to be paved.
They need to be MOTORABLE.
They need to be in good conditions.
1st is to expand the road network.
We are doing that....soon we will have about 350,000kms...that will be South Africa level of road density.
Then we make sure they are in good motorable conditions - even if it mean paving them with murram and gravel
Kenya county gov maintain our large road network.

Let me give practical example. This is my farm in kericho kenya

At front of my farm is national gov - feeder roader that is paved - by national gov.
Behind my property is a regularly maintained road - of murram - by county gov.

The inner roads are mostly for collecting tea leaves everyday in collection centers - and short distance to people houses.

Bottomline - You need EXTENSIVE MOTORABLE ROADS IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS - and that most important index

jl115:
let's rather not call reputable sources nonsense of all people you are one of the few I don't expect this from

WEF once in a while come up with nonsense

just like the nonsense, they came up with when they said Togo has better education than Israel

Mkenya2019:
40,186 km is your total classified road network - Kenya has 160,000kms. Your trunk road is mere 13,000 against kenya 45,000.

Look at that map and pity your country - all the gold and total mess

Our classified road network is 87,000km


all this noise wont bring your country paved roads to at least 10%

manage to pave 40,000km of roads and then you will be able to compare to Ghana.

[s]

Mkenya2019:
A country with 80,000kms of road cannot lit a candle to us.
https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/state-values-road-network-at-sh3-5trn-before-audit-3472282
The valuation of the 246,757.26 kilometres of roads, which include 40,002.34km trunk roads, is more than Kenya’s Sh3.06 trillion budget, highlighting the impact of Jubilee administration’s accelerated investment in roads in the past decade.

KRB data says the country has 161,821km classified roads, 34,000km unclassified or new roads with more than nine-metre road reserve and 50,000 km narrow roads that have less than nine-metre road reserve.

Kenya had 76,100km of roads in 2014, meaning that 85,721km of paved and unpaved roads were added in five years to June 2019. The country has added 10,395km of paved roads from 2010 to close June 2019 with 21,295km.

“Kenya’s road assets are estimated at over Sh3.5 trillion, representing one of the largest public investments in the country,” says KRB.

complete nonsense

A roadless country like Kenya will continue to be in the shadows of Ghana.

Manage to pave at least 10% of your country roads then maybe you will be able to compare with Ghana doing almost 40% as we speak.

Mkenya2019:
More usual diarhoea. This 2021 - and your own road minister - is claiming you have 80K road network with 23 percent having ever since bitumen - most of it completely run down. About 43 percent in bad shape.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0ADd4SNmYA

Do you understand what classified road network means?

i wont expect you to, the level of education in your country is terrible

Nairobi downtown is just roadless

Kenya is not even developed in Nairobi let alone it entirety

A country that constructs roads without drainages and celebrates paved when they finally see one.

GeneralDae:
So this is Kenya? wow I don't believe this. Please check again, this can't be Kenya. Kenya is very developed all around.

Mkenya2019:
Such roads and pavement in kenya are rarity - not the norm. And they are backlog from pre-chinese arrival.

They are a norm in Kenya and that is why only 5% of your country roads are paved

The remaining 235,000km, the least said about it the better.

The Chinese have always been in your backwater

Mkenya2019:
Mr Kwasi Amoako-Attah - says your total road network in 78,000 - Kenya is well onto 250,000 if not 300k now. That is like 3-4 times bigger.
Total paved road in Ghana - 15000k. Kenya now 25000km.

I rather listen to your road minister - than a resident mad cow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0ADd4SNmYA

Total paved roads in Ghana is 40,000km out of 109,515km

Ghana has 11,000km more under construction as we speak.

Kenya total paved roads is 17,000km.... that's even if we consider your gov't to be truthful but as we've learn, everything in your country is inflated to give a false sense of doing well so that fools like you can come online and make noise.

Watch and laugh


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgBxBEAQBzM

Anyway, why are paved roads in Kenya always looking muddy?

This is the kind of bad roads Chinese contractors give Kenya after siphoning all the money through the looting Kenyatta family dynasty ..

Roads that cant be distinguished from dirt path

Mkenya2019:
So we rather believe in mad cow ranting than WEF

It better than believing a lunatic like you

How do you compare a country twice the size o Ghana with just half the paved roads of Ghana?

Kenya is a ZOO that is roadless


Your entire country paved road can only compare to those in Kumasi and Accra alone

Mkenya2019:
The usual madness - Kenya budget is now bigger than your big Zoo - NIgeria.

I have been to Namibia, RSA and Rwanda...and I can test to their quality of roads. In Rwanda I only saw one single pothole. Very impressive for a poor country.

A WEF nonsense

only 5% of your country roads are paved which is just half of Ghana paved roads

such a roadless country

Mkenya2019:
Money from where - when Kenya has more than twice your budget - and 3 times your taxes
The money you could have - 90 percent - is getting smuggled.

Can you please show us Ghana here

Kenya budget all goes to recurrent expenditure

money that kenya will never have
we have over 20 huge road contractors that are well equipted

Ghana spends twice on infrastructure investment per year than Kenya....
Ghana does 13 billion dollars while kenya does 7 billion dollars.

Just ask IMF

Mkenya2019:
More lame excuses - everywhere you turn in Ghana and Nigeria - you will experience potholes - not just potholes - that so many of them. kenya was there about 20yrs ago. We still have few backlog of roads that need repair and rebuilding but generally our road quality is HIGH.

Because kenyan roads are filled with potholes, you think its the same everywhere

Your country does not even have paved roads and you are here making noise for it despicable state

Mkenya2019:
Yeah I am sure Kenya had no roads by then

IM sure you didn't

your country was still forest land by then with people running around naked

We have money to buy those incredible machines and do the work ourselves.

Chinese have only built terrible roads in Kenya that easily go bad.
Your roads do not last and they go bad because of terrible Chinese work.

The best roads in Ghana have always been done with Ghanaian excellence, something that is trusted all around the world.


At least build your kenyan capacity, maybe they will one day get to the level of Ghanaian contractors and do quality work.

Mkenya2019:
I wish you'd save the frowning and the disdain for Chinese Shaolin gang smuggling your gold.

There is GOOD and BAD CHINA or FOREIGNERS.

Good foreigners - investor, tourists, contractor, expat, companies - example China Roads and Bridges
BAD foreigners - illegal, drug dealer, cowboy contractor, smuggler - example Shaolin Gang.

Chinese road constructors are the best in the world - and for international contracts - highways and expressway - why would you risk?

Why would you not tap on China incredible construction machine to build roads, railways, houses and learn from them?

Why would you not tap on China incredible manufacturing machine?

Mkenya2019:
Watch this video - and we can discuss Chinese roads versus Ghana roads - in the next century -when you evolve from being a Bonobo

Ghana main road in Accra - Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange side road with Potholes in Accra

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F91K9F1PyU

Ghana water company dock up that portion of the road to fix their major pipeline and it has since been repaired.

Mkenya2019:
One of the main highways - Accra- Tema highway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_8OMXQEa8w

Do you know how old that road is?

it is almost 60 years old (older than your (Country).... it is already undergoing a 500 million dollars reconstruction.

Even at 60 years, the road is supper good.


Eastern corridor road is almost a 1000km road under construction

All our beautiful streets are constructed by Local construction companies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RMdaMAZlPI

70% of our SGR is being done by local construction companies

95% of our Highways under construction is being done by local companies.

Awarding road construction to foreign contractors is frowned upon here.... no foreign worshipping here

Mkenya2019:
Dont talk roads - in the video I remember watching gold smuggling one - I saw a road in Ghana that I have only seen in Nigeria - completely potholed.

Quick peek into the videos - precisely why you should adopt chinese standard roads.

Putting hard core to the road - then spreading asphalt - mean the roads will not last 5yrs - or even 2yrs before potholes appear.

Chinese do not put hard core (That American/British standards)- they set up foundation with huge bolders - then next level - is just the soil plus cement and stabilizer - it creates a cheap concrete like sub-base. Then you simply pour bitumen on top.

Those roads last longer and are very cheap...almost concrete roads for the price of the dirt in the road.

no wonder Kenyan roads get washed away by the slightest rain...

You get substandard Chinese construction that only compact sand and puts a binder on it..

In Ghana, the basement of a road has 3 layers which makes it more durable...
The first layer is hydro rock compartment and a plastic insulation, the second layer is laterite compression before concrete compression after this, a binder is placed on it before final asphalt..

This is why our roads last between 20 to 50 years ......


Education is really good, when your education is bad... You end up with all your roads being constructed by Chinese and all your buildings going to foreign construction companies... basically you are making Chinese contractors rich while your people don't have any opportunities.

Here in Ghana, we don't do that shit
