though some areas can get pretty cold in kenya, in some parts especially in high altitudes temperatures can drop to single digits
kinangop town has been often nicknamed snow land due to frequent snow like hail, which are smaller in size than hail found in other parts of kenya

Nowenuse:
So, why did it take you so long to admit that your counties are just 4 years old? What a shame! After dodging the question for so long. I think you are very immature, and you have been comparing them with Nigerian states which have started since 1967.

This is why Kenya just has only 2 cities while Nigeria has about 50 cities which are all working hard to build themselves (develop) at the same pace.

Tomorrow now, as Nigeria continues to develop and we now have many dozens of economically viable cities and financial centres and our GDP grows to trillions of dollars, you Kenyattas will begin to cry foul that it is fraudulent. You guys are impossible loosers seriously.

the funny thing is kenya population is approximately 50 million, Nigeria aprox 200 million
why would kenya need more cities? when Lagos population is almost half of the entire kenyan population
kenya has 4 cities which is more than enough for a country with such a population

The World’s Largest Single Turbine Geothermal Plant, Kenya’s Olkaria IV geothermal power plant

The olkaria IV project is the fourth and largest in a series of geothermal power plants in Kenya’s Eastern Rift Valley. Kenya was the first African country to build and exploit geothermal energy sources.

so far 636 MW of electricity comes from geothermal sources

a potential of 10 000 MW of geothermal power has been developed. Most is owned by the Kenya Electricity Generating Co. (KenGen)—a company majority-owned by the Kenyan government that produces 80% of Kenya’s power—with the remainder owned by Ormat International subsidiary OrPower 4. Kenya plans to produce the bulk of its electricity from geothermal power.

The Olkaria I Units 4 & 5 has also been awarded the “Clean Energy Project of the Year” while KenGen received the “Utility of the Year” Award during the Africa Utility Week in May 2015.
potential for geothermal is huge, and Kenya is proudly now among the top 10 countries in geothermal energy production globally and leader in Africa



the numerous geothermal plants are spread out in the middle of a wildlife reserve
i have been here myself, very nice place.

Shaytun:
It is better to have Many Ports Scattered around the Country.

Comparing kenya to nigeria is 'Foolish'.

Kenya has only Nairobi the rest of the country is nothing to write home about.

oh really, and where is the second largest port in the continent
and the funny thing is kenya population is approximately 50 million, Nigeria 200 million
why would they need more cities? when Lagos population is almost half of the entire kenyan population

Mombasa- Second largest port in Africa after Durban (south Africa)

Kenya's Indian Ocean port of Mombasa, serving Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the eastern gateway for the Democratic Republic of Congo, is the most important port in East Africa

The quantum of goods handled at the Port of Mombasa has increased from 13.28 in 2005 to 26.73 million tonnes in 2016, denoting over 100 per cent growth.

Port dwell time, which describes the time that lapses from the time cargo arrives to the time it leaves has reduced from 4.9 days in 2013 to 3.4 days in March 2016.

With a quay length of 840 meters, the container terminal can now comfortably take in three of the larger post-Panamax vessels at a go.

The biggest game changer at the Port in terms of capacity growth is the Second Container Terminal.
Started in 2011, Phase I of the project is now complete and has already been handed to KPA by the contractor. The terminal, which started operations on April 25, brings some 550,000 TEUs into play, increasing the port’s overall capacity to 1.65 million TEUs and making it one of the five biggest ports in Africa.

New data showed that the ports operator posted Sh35.6 billion in revenue in the fiscal year 2014/2015 compared to Sh 30.72b the previous years, firming a growth trend since 2010.

Turkana wind power project injects first 102MW into the National grid

Lake Turkana Wind Power Company has started the injection of an initial 102MW into the national grid.

The additional power forms 33 per cent of the total 310MW that the wind power farm has agreed to inject into the national grid by June.

On completion, the Marsabit-based firm – the largest wind farm on the continent – aims to produce enough energy to power an additional one million households in the country. Managing Director Phylip Leferink said in a statement yesterday the total cost of the project is estimated at Sh70 billion.

He said the firm targets an annual generation capacity of 1.6 billion kilowatt hour (kWh), while the tariff rate would be Sh8.6 per kWh.

Technicians working on the 40,000-acre wind farm in Marsabit mounted the final blade on the final turbine of the 365–turbine-project on Friday last week.

Currently, Kenya relies heavily on renewables such as geothermal, solar and hydro-power, and thus the discovery of high quality wind sites across the country and the modernised turbine systems, will play a major role in expanding Kenya’s generation capacity.

World's largest construction company to build Africa's tallest development


Oil marketing firm Hass Group announced today that it has signed a 20 billion Kenya shilling agreement to build the tallest building in Africa with China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), currently ranked the largest construction company in the world, Hass Towers, a mixed use development is set to be complete in 2020, and be located Upper Hill, Nairobi.

The Honourable Mr John O. Odipo, the Counsellor of Kenya’s Embassy in China, and the Commercial Counsellor of Kenya’s Embassy in China, The Honourable Mr Vincent E. Omuse attended the official signing ceremony held at the five-star Kempinski Hotel, Beijing, on 28 February.

Also attending the signing ceremony were the Chairman of Hass Petroleum Group, Mr Abdinassir Ali Hassan; Vice Chairman and Co-Founder of White Lotus Inc., Mr Sita Ramachandra Raju Poosapati; Vice President of CSCEC Overseas Operations, Mr Li Mingguang; and Vice President of CSCEC Overseas Operations, Mr Zhang Zhiping.

In his speech, Mr Hassan, Hass Group Chairman, described the signing as an ‘historic’ event andcongratulated CSCEC on winning the contract after a long negotiation and tender process. He said: “It has not been an easy road. [CSCEC] went through a rigorous tender system which they won over ten international companies including European, Turkish as well as other Chinese competitors.

“Hass Group awarding the contract to CSCEC demonstrates a stronger growing economic partnership between the Chinese government and the Kenyan government, and is a testament to Kenya’s economic and political stability. This project will give CSCEC a majestic entry point into Africa.”

Mr Li Mingguang, Vice President of CSCEC Overseas Operations said: “This will be the tallest building in Africa and become a landmark in Kenya. It is sure to drive regional development, promote economic growth, and attract more investment and tourism into Kenya. China State Construction understands the importance of this grand project and is honoured to be chosen as the main contractor.”

Construction of the foundations for Hass Towers is due to start in April this year, when the project will officially launch in Kenya. Once complete, the development will include Grade A offices, a five-star Hilton hotel, plus a luxury retail and entertainment complex. Standing over 300 metres high with 67 storeys, the tallest tower is designed to represent ‘the height of African achievement’, considerably taller than the current record holder, the Carlton Centre in South Africa (at 50 floors and 223 m tall).

Kenya is one of Africa’s fastest growing economies with strong growth in its agricultural, tourism, construction and telecommunication sectors. The project is conveniently located just 16km from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, in Nairobi’s growing financial hub of Upper Hill, where many embassies and international organisations have set up their regional offices. These include Cisco Systems, World Bank and the IMF.

obaaderemi:
How do you explain this recent scores from the world bank site itself,bro nyangau? http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2017/02/15/world-bank-scores-sustainable-energy-policies-in-111-countries

are those access to electricity statistics?, no they are not....
show me access to electricity statistics from world bank for 2017.
you cant because the last time world bank did this survey was in 2012

Olu317:
what are Kenyans emphasising really? Kenyan with low productivity and less industrialisation. What is the essence of having being electrified 60% without relative impact on wealth creation?. Kenya is 3/4 on the downward trend compared to Nigeria. Do you know how much a foreign communication network,using MTN as a case study generate annually in Nigeria? Despite the herculean challenges.

MTN NIGERIA WAS FINED HEAVILY YET THEY KNEW THEY HAVE A LOT TO LOOSE

Africa’s largest mobile operator has been fined $3.9 billion in Nigeria for failing to disconnect users of unregistered SIM cards.
MTN, which makes about 37 percent of its revenue from Nigeria, has filed a court challenge over the fine, which equates to more than twice its annual average capital spending over the pastDespite this fine, they were jittery that they had to settle out of court with the communication regulatory authority

South African telecommunications giant, MTN Group released its full year to December 2012 Financial Statement, which shows revenue of R135.1 billion ($14.67 billion) up from R121.8 billion ($13.15 billion) a year earlier.
As expected, a huge chunk (29 percent) of the company’s revenue came from MTN’s Nigerian unit which raked in about 774 billion naira ($4.2 billion). This represents an 11 percent increase over the same period in Rand terms.
In terms of EBITDA margin (Earnings before tax depreciation and amortization), the company made a total R58.6 billion ($6.36 billion) or about 43 percent of revenues. Though, slightly lower than the 44 percent margin obtained a year earlier, the figure is rather impressive considering the global economic Zeitgeist.








The bitter truth is that Nigeria far ahead of Kenya by far and large.

so south africans own your mobile telecoms ,he he ,,

cant compare that to kenyan owned safaricom the founder and pioneer of mobile money in the world
kenya population is a quarter of nigeria
last year they made $1.8 billion dollars in revenues, with $366 million dollars in profits after tax

compare it to something Nigerians actually own ,all those MTN profits going back to South Africa son.

bitter truth my ass,

we keep telling you dont let huge population delude you that you are something to the point of disrespect , out here the rest of the world can see right through your dumb egos.
