rvp20182: You cannot see SGR? You cannot see Mombasa port expansion - now handling more than Lagos two ports combined? You cannot see Lamu Deep Sea Port - with 3 berts completed? The inner roads, the by-passes?
Maybe you're a blind?
The mombasa roads are under massive construction - especially in the mainland - so wait for a little longer - a year - you will see serious roads, interchanges and bridges in Mombasa.
Forget it Mombasa has no road or infrastructure.a drive through that slum and u will be surprised. Nairobi-Mombasa rail is a federal infrastructure linking both cities. Lamu is an abandoned wet pipe dream that is not feasible. Mainland is trash.,no road,no sewage just slum and dilapidated building.
rvp2018: Shackman first rebuild the malls you burnt and looted to the ground. You looted 3000 stores and destroyed 100 malls. Stop hallucinating about growth. Focus on trying to maintain your middle class status - as it look likely you're soon going to be another failed state.
It has been calculated that so far about 800 stores were looted and 100 malls were either burnt down or suffered significant fire damage and a number of distribution centres, particularly in Durban, KwaZulu Natal, were looted with serious structural destruction.
Meanwhile, the eThekwini Economic Development and Planning Committee says about R1.5 bn has been lost in stock, a R15 bn loss to property, over 50 000 informal traders have lost their livelihoods, approximately 1.5 million people have lost their potential to earn an income and there are some 150 000 jobs at risk.
The overall result of the devastation is that there has been an estimated loss to the eThekwini GDP of upwards of R20 bn.
“Rebuilding may take two years depending on the extent and size of the centre. Some landlords may however decide to not rebuild as the risk is too high for future incidents.”
And the further tragedy is that owners have no measures left with which to protect their properties.
Your link said 800 stores but u pulled 3000 stores from ur ass.
Others are the Sh40 billion new Kipevu Oil Terminal at the Port of Mombasa and phase II of the second container terminal at the Port of Mombasa, which has an additional capacity of 450,000 containers.
So far, the President has launched Phase I of the Dondo Kundu bypass which cost Sh11 billion and the Sh1.9 billion Likoni floating bridge.
On May 20, he commissioned the first berth of the Sh40 billion Lamu Port.
Other mega projects for Mombasa are the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone, dualing of the Mombasa-Malindi highway and the Sh85 billion permanent bridge across the Likoni crossing channel.
The 1.4km Mombasa Gateway Bridge, will connect Mombasa Island with South Coast, substituting the 84-year-old ferry service that suffers perennial breakdowns delaying traffic flow to and from Mombasa.
The interchange is meant to address the congestion that was being experienced at Changamwe roundabout as trucks heading to the port of Mombasa to pick cargo sometimes block those going to Moi International Airport to catch a flight.
“This will be one of the modern interchanges in Africa and is due for completion on October 21. This project will make Mombasa beautiful,” the CS said.
On phase II of the Dongo Kundu bypass, Macharia said a Japanese consortium, Fujita Corporation-Mitsubishi Corporation, is working to complete the project on time.
The project is now 33 per cent done.
The Sh25 billion project will include an 8.96km dual carriageway, construction of an interchange at the Likoni-Lunga Lunga highway and two bridges; a 660-metre long one at Mwache and another at Mteza straddling 1,440 metres.
“This will be the longest bridge in the country,” Macharia said.
Phase III of the project, which will connect the Mteza Bridge to South Coast road in Kibundani area, is 85 per cent complete.
Macharia said Phase I of the Dongo Kundu bypass, which was commissioned in May 2018, has proven to be a game changer.
“Once this project is completed, people coming from Nairobi, will not need to use the Likoni crossing channel to get to the South Coast,” he said.
Currently, crossing from Mombasa to Kwale might take a motorist about three hours depending on the traffic snarl up at the Likoni ferry crossing channel.
“After the completion of this road, it will take you an average of 30 minutes to drive from Mombasa town to the South Coast,” Macharia said.
The Dongo Kundu project is connected to the Miritini Standard Gauge Railway terminus and the Moi International Airport.
The CS said to also address the challenge of traffic snarl up at Kibarani in Makupa causeway, the government is committed to complete the bridge within the next 10 months.
He said currently, Mombasa is not a true Island because the Makupa causeway has blocked water from flowing around the Island.
“After the completion of the bridge, we will demolish the causeway to allow water to move around. We will now reaffirm the status of Mombasa as a true Island,” he said.
So where is the $36bn in Mombasa.when u drive round Mombasa doesn’t it seems to u like $100 m has even been spent in infrastructure.
Mkenya2019: I am not sure where UNCTAD normally get it's data from (always looked suspiciously low for kenya) - but Kenya gov claims 10B dollars FDI inflow in 2019 alone.
Shma2020: You have 4 times our population but you're still struggling to compete us.
I will repeat, quality will always win over quantity, post your 5 biggest mall and I will do the same, or even ten if you can. Let's see the zoo. I hope you apply the same audacity you used to post Abuja resorts
What exactly do u what to argue about.the fact that u guys kept lying consistently that u had the second highest mall in SSA or the fact that u y’all lied to have a booming formal retail sector when that isn’t the case .so which is it.
Go talk quality with Uganda else your zoo should be struggling to compete with kaduna.
Mkenya2019: We barely scratched the surface...we must be about 10% of South Africa - who have almost 25m sqm in mall/shopping spaces. There is huge scope for retail - as long as the economy keeps expanding. Once we hit maybe 10M sqm - we can start talking.
Lagos Rail Mass Transit System Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, is constructing a light rail system under a public-private partnership (PPP).
Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, is constructing a light rail system under a public-private partnership (PPP). The Lagos Rail Mass Transit System project is sponsored by the Lagos State Government (LSG) and being developed by Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) on behalf of LSG.
China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) was appointed as the contractor for the construction of the first line (Blue). The contract includes the fundamental design and development of the rail infrastructure.
CCECC is constructing the Blue line in two phases. The first phase includes the National Theatre to Mile 2 section and the second involves the Mile 2 to Okokomaiko section.
Construction of the Blue line was initially expected to be completed by 2011 but was delayed to 2020 due to funding issues. Alstom also partnered with LAMATA for the completion of Blue line.
SMH!!!! Do U know what PPP is? You have ur answer already.
Shma2020: You've said nothing regarding my previous submission. In fact, you've just proved my point.
Point one, you said our government cannot run any serious project without borrowing, I gave you an example of our expressway which is being funded through PPP and under full control of the government, I didn't dispute yours on PPP either.
Point 2, I said your red line 'project' is not anywhere, it's nothing, it doesn't exist. Was I lying? Prove me wrong, show us prove of its existence, post any pic on the progress and let's move on.
Point 3, why should I say your project started in 1985 yet we wholly understand with all cincher in place that the project was approved in 2006 and it break ground in 2011 ? Lying is unacceptable here.
To conclude, you said we shouldn't believe Wikipedia info since it's baseless and you therefore came with your own date which you pulled from your ar*s hole, I gave you the link for skyscrapercity where people have been discussing the same project since 2012 and you're here trashing it as if though it's being edited like Nairaland .. Are you serious bruh ?
SMH!! What a fool.u must really think this is ur zoo “Kenya “ . Pls stick to speaking for Kenya .

68816419: Talk about borno , the state is currently building two flyovers brdiges, the flyovers project had attained 63 per cent completion and costs 60% lesser than that langata projects.
Lol Boko haram infested borno will give the best of Nairobi flyover a run for her money.
Shma2020: Keep lying to yourself. The truth of the matter is that this project has been on discussion since 2006.
It was to be completed in 2011 but your government was extremely poor to beat the deadline. Now we're counting 13yrs since the project was proposed and 10yrs since it break ground - a mere 27km.
The discussion can be on from the last century,I don’t give a flying fvck.what matter is that construction started in 2014 and it has resumed with full funding so expect it to be completed from now till January.ur focus should be on the fad t that ur zoo cannot afford such feat,hence why you opted for that Spanish moving coffin.
Shma2020: You can say what you want but that project is funded through PPP and it's worth $600m going by its quality. Your project on the other hand, which was supposed to be completed in 2011, is still underway . See... "Construction of the Blue line was initially expected to be completed by 2011 but was delayed to 2020 due to funding issues. Alstom also partnered with LAMATA for the completion of Blue line."
Lagos rail mass transit system project The first two lines of the urban light rail project are estimated to cost $1.4bn. The Red line will be 30km long and will run between Marina and Agbado. The Blue line will be 27km long, connecting Okokomaiko to Marina.
Surprisingly, it's only blue line currently under construction. . That being sayed, you should be ashamed of yourself and your country for overhyping a project that started in 2008 ;13yrs ago and still at 40% completion.
In Kenya, 4km lang'ata flyover is also underway- if we start bombarding you guys with road grand projects currently under construction, then you'll have to run away.
SMH!!! Bombarding us with 4km flyover. I will leave those for kaduna and Borno to give the best ur zoo have to offer a serious competition.I keep telling u,ur zoo inspires no one.
Shma2020: Read your statement again. You're contradicting yourself from the word go.
No for real I can tell u with a very straight face that I am not jealous of ur flyover.it’s a flyover after all and we fvcking have those. Get me something impressive.

Firstly I will damned before I ever have to argue the date construction started.it’s started in 2014 and that’s fact.plus I honestly couldn’t care about that,I am talking present not history.
Secondly the flyover cost cannot be more than $50m .just forget that corrupt practices Kenyatta and is cohorts are doing.it’s fvcking overinflated.
Thirdly the price u quoted was for the proposed project in 2011.This is 2021 and cost has gone up.
theenchanter: u don't even need to argue or explain anything to them. Let a county in kenya embark on a project like d blue rail as lagos state govt is doing.... Without fed govt assistance or borrowing a penny.
Their central can't even build such without borrowing, talk more of county.
Shma2020: Let's even forget the date of proposal. The 27km project started waaay back in 2010, a decade ago - our expressway which is 28 km with 10 massive interchanges is now at 50% completion and just started last year, so in this case, which country is sleeping?
Ur flyover is a mere $50m project with an over inflated corrupt budget sitting at about $600m I think. We are talking of massive stuffs that run into billions of US dollars not $50m flyover. Heck you can’t even afford to buy the trains(u will have to be strangled with Chinese or Japanese debt to achieve any of this) alone not to talk of laying the track.wonder no have why you had to opt for that inferior Spanish garbage.
Mkenya2019: And they keep launching and signing new projects while some that started way back in 1970s are still under construction. 150km Lagos-Ibadan expressway is one such example - under notorious Reynolds RCC. I think it lack something like Kenya's vision 2030. Something so broad every new gov will come, complete the previous projects, before embarking on new ones.
Again they have horror contractors - like Reynolds Construction Company Limited - the one that took 10yrs to construct 5kms in industrial area - after sneaking in as SBI international - no Nigeria contractor is ever getting another contract in kenya.
The horror they visited on kenya will not be forgotten soon - and this what they do to Nigerians every day
The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) says Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) has failed to complete works on the Enterprise-Likoni road junction, five years after the project was started – a development that has seen firms losing business due to the poor state of the road.
“Companies have lost about 30 percent of their business due to the bad state of Eastgate Road off Mombasa Road. Trucks now move slowly from Mlolongo to Inland Container Depot (ICD) spending more than three hours on a stretch that would usually be a 15-minute drive,” KAM chairman Sachen Gudka said.
although RCC had never done any road construction work in Kenya, it was given the job as part of conditions by the European Union (EU), who financed the project through a grant of Sh3.4 billion – with Kenya settling the balance.
EU insisted that the contractor had to come from an EU state member or an affiliate of a European company. RCC is a subsidiary of Switzerland headquartered SBI International Holdings AG, which has interests in construction and other sectors, and has operations in different countries.
In April, the Ministry of Infrastructure said it had cancelled the contract for the 6.1km Enterprise Road stretch, a critical artery for Nairobi’s Industrial Area, following delays by RCC.
The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura), which is overseeing the project, has previously blamed the delays on differences between it and RCC amid reports that the Nigerian company had received upfront payment for the job.
Noise! Noise!! Noise!!! .This project will be completed by Q1 of next year.your zoo can never ever afford to build such things.u are relegated to receiving Spanish garbage as compensation for ur disappointments.
Shma2020: Lol! We have more new grand projects currently underway that we don't overhype. I hope you're aware that that particular project is now celebrating 12yrs since it break ground ? Now that the project is 40% complete and taken 10yrs since construction started, what about the 60% remaining ? Will it take 15yrs.. ? Food for thought
On the other hand, expressway just started last year and the progress is quite tremendous. If we post progress, you'll definitely become jealous and start screaming envy songs every moment it pops up - we understand . You can't justify your post with that video notwithstanding, you could've just posted the link and blend it with your writings if you don't want to appear to be posting progress of stalled projects.
This is viaduct progress, another grand project in Kenya that has not been overhyped.
Firstly I can assure without reason to doubt that I am not in any freaking way jealous of ur expressway project.it’s yet again another regular flyover to be erected in Nairobi.we had so many of those for years.perhaps we could gift some of our rundown flyover to ur zoo so I have more things to brag about and even get ur self accustomed to basic infrastructures.
Secondly it’s not 40% complete.I am aware u want to sleep tonight so u need to pull figures from ur ass to have a sound sleep tonight. Otherwise this project should be ready by January next year.
