The problem with most of us Kenyans is we like criticising. This is a project that has been on paper for over a decade and has only taken the NMS months to bring it to life. Why can't we just say congratulations for the hard work. For the 1st time we are seeing projects coming to life without over priced budgets. Congratulations NMS we appreciate all the hard work. Kazi na iendelee

@christineantonsson3904 3 года назад

It is true they Think even buying is cheaper. If thats out mind we will never grow. We must make use of what we have. The Most important thing is to improve economy in terms of infrastructure and to improve the life of our low income earners. Pple must learn to appreciate every little thing we get. Infact Kenya you are lucky despite corruption you can see progress.

One thing you can not take away from President Uhuru is his determination to improve Kenya's infrastructure. As much as i don't agree with him when it comes to politics, i think on this front he has done well. Imagine he has revived the old meter gauge railway, Imagine the billions that could have gone to waste on the railyway plant had he not intervened. He has already revived the Nairobi - Nanyuki railway that cuts accross 5 counties and now as can been in the above he is renovating and as well as expanding the Nairobi railway commuter network.

The engines and wagons need to be upgraded with good designs from Germany or Japan, but built under licence in Kenya. You don't have to import the complete train, but build the chassis, bodies and other simple parts locally. This will create jobs in the local and national economy. Also look into electrification of the metro rail lines.
