| MT. KENYA ROADS BOOM | Government undertaking major infrastructure projects in Mt. Kenya region

- Опубліковано 8 січ 2022
- A drive through the 10 counties that form the The Central Kenya Economic Block (CEKEB) shows a region that is undergoing major infrastructural transformation with mega projects in progress . The construction of the 48 Kilometer Kennol-Marua dual carriage highway at a cost of 14 billion shillings, and the construction of the 540 kilometers of Mau Mau roads at a cost of 30 billion shillings are among flagship projects being witnessed in the block alongside the construction of dams that could see thousands of acres put under irrigation to boost food supply. Our reporter Martin Munene toured some of these projects and filed this report.
Na hiyo Ng'ombe inasema barabara haisaiidii niyawapi.
Uhuru Kenyatta anafanya KAZI. Big up Uhuru Kenyatta.
This is visionary leadership, the impact that good roads have on economy can not be under estimated.
Building roads is easy. Maintaining is a whole different story. America just passed $1.5 trillion bill to maintain roads
Roads mean nothing if people don't have jobs plus our dependency on China is a liability. Who will maintain them?
The impact will only be felt if the roads are opening all region of the country. But even if you get tarmack to your house but you can't take your produce to big mkts in time that is outside your region were the demands are high you will never feel the impacts of the so called mega projects.
Roads should be done by private sector, they do better market research on if there's a need or not and can bring innovations on how to better roads, government won't be able to maintain them
@@usejasiri NOPE!!
@@omooshg5257 American roads are very well maintained in most areas. I know that from first hand experience. But after 100 years, some of the infrastructure needs a complete overhaul, not just maintenance. Hence the need for the infrastructure bill. Second, interest rates in the US are less than 1% something unheard of in Kenya. Add to the fact that America can print its own currency with no problem. If Kenya prints money, it has to then use it to buy dollars THEN pay China to build its infrastructure. And finally, in America, the infrastructure work, the equipment, the workers etc will all be Americans. Nothing will be imported like Kenya. In short, the building of infrastructure in the US has little in comparison with the same activity in Kenya.
I hope Kenyans appreciate the massive long term projects happening plz dont take it for granted m happy 4 u ...🇿🇼🇿🇼
Love you Zimbabweans 🙂♥️

I wish Uhuru first term was this busy tungempea 15 years aendelee
True but politics was into everyone's head at that time so there was less thinking of the infrastructure planning
these are all first term projects

The dams will never bring water if we let the rivers dry up by cutting down trees! They will soon be white elephants. Let's not just conserve our forests but let's also reclaim our forests that have disappeared over the years, then the dams will be relevant. Long live Mama Miti's vision; RIP shujaa wetu Prof. Wangari Muta Maathai. Kamwe hatutakusahau!
I thought white elephants went extinct? Or do we have some in Masai Mara ?
Moi and the government have planted more trees than Wangari Maathai ever did in her life.

The government should also dual the road from Nairobi to Malaba. More trade is their than trade in Ethiopia.
They're building a dual carriage way road in Bungoma county that connects to Malaba
@@itgamingke can you consider that to be part of the highway?
Even Mandera, Garissa, Wajir etc are still part of Kenya so the road should be built since our business is not just with Ethiopia but with Kenyans.

Currently nobody appreciates the magnitude of these developments happening in Kenya, we will appreciate 5-10 years from now.

There’s zero national development projects in northern Kenya. Watching other regions develop is very painful to them.

You're right and an educator. Personally I had thought about him needing a good whipping.
Those are the Ruto noisemakers that still blame uhuru
Huyo ni mtu mzima, anajua kile anasema. That person is hopeless and an obstacle to the rest of us. It is not poverty, it is laziness and entitlement. Don't waste your time, maybe pray for them bcoz divine intervention is their only hope at this point.
He's thinking is short term that's his problem Bora amepata ya Bangi ye ako sawa

Trust me, leave politics alone. YOU WILL NEVER GO WRONG WITH INFRASTRUCTURE.
Uhuru has done ✔ alot but stupid uda goons can still complain n shout nonsense. That young man hajui uko kwa njia anaweza weka biz akili inamuonyesha kuchiba mitaro
Akili zao zimejaa matope. There issues is not really with uhuru, but because uhuru seems to have soft spot on Raila. They don't realise that what uhuru has done, it will take generations to have such projects country-wide. To the everything is about politics
Uhuru amefanya kazi Buanaa .

That particular youth, Edwin,is shortsighted like for real...
This young man is contradictory
He is high on something.
Yet some useless people say they don't need the roads, and that what they need is money as in free money.Useless.

Well researched and informative report. Well done
It's 84kms. Not 48kms.
I toured Central after living in Nyanza the whole of my life. I submit to you. CENTRAL IS THE MOST DEVELOPED REGION IN KENYA. and nobody can catch up with them not even in 100 years to come.
some regions in this country don't even have a proper murram roads but a kiuk president would rather add double lanes all over central kenya ...i am ready to get attacked ✌
They don't need devolution as other regions because most investments from the politicians and the private sector have been put to develop the central area .
Even feeder roads are well maintained
@Tony Tosh umemaliza

Let's appreciate what the Govt is doing. People are buying land and developing those areas. This leads to employment creation. Empty promises will not change Kenya

No drainage, no footpath...kenyans we are accustom to less than the best...
I am yet to see any road in a rural area even in the U.S or Europe or Japan that has footpaths and drainage.
All these were Railas policy when he was the minister for Roads, in grand coalition, implementation being done here, thanks to president Ohuru Kenyatta
Dirty jaluos were busy spreading ukimwi. Nothing else
That's the Kenya we want
Nimwageria kwaria githungu wega, congratulations guys.
Congrats uhunye...
Great projects. Thanks to the Government. However what have they done for the tea and coffee farmers in the rural towns of nyeri.
👏🏽🇰🇪 mwea rices 👍🏽👌🏽
Oh no ! 6:18. Edwin Gakinya. Wow just wow. SAD.
This must be painful to watch if you are from Northern Kenya where the government is doing zero roads.
It's too unstable to do business there. You just want to stare at empty roads?
What pain? You cant have pain from something you never had. Secondly, why build roads there? So that cattle rustlers can get their stolen livestock to the market quicker? Pole.
what about the road to Moyale.
This is totally out of order. Kenol-Marua carries all the traffic to and from the Northern Kenya via Nanyuki and Isiolo. Dualing the road is doing justice to Northern Kenya as well. A road that also links Nairobi to the Lapsset corridor, as well, at Isiolo.
@@saimzmuiruri same excuses since independence. Let’s develop only one region and it will trickle down to the other regions blah blah…
Uhuru n sure bet
These projects were to be done in 1970s 🤷🤷
We are decades late , there's nothing to smile about...
Smile bcause inatimwizwa hata kama kachelewa
Because of moi, Kenya stagnated.ruto will be worse .Baba tosha
Wakati mwingine ulevi nifaida .Thanks to Moses Kuria ulimfungua president Uhuru macho..
At some point may b those calling uhuru words will swallow their words
Great for kenyans
LAPSET, Roads in Central, Coast, Nairobi. Development is gradual. Good things come to those who wait.
This is gonna be controversial but the truth is The Current Regime has focused many of its developments in Mt Kenya. Areas previously concentrated WITH the "opposition" are underdeveloped with minor infrastructure like Electricity supply still a struggle.
Was it not just the other day that people were complaining that the government was spending too much on infrastructure in the opposition areas than what they were spending in Central ,that is why you find Uhuru was and is still unpopular in Central.
People did complain but they were wrong. I can't think of any factory, major road upgrade, company revival e.t.c that the government has invested in areas such as western.
@@seddyverse it is good to know that the Kisumu-kitale road, the Ahero-katitu roads are in Central. The government has also gone ahead and put up a shipyard in Kisumu in Central Kenya to make it worse they have rehabilitated the metre gauge rail from Naivasha to Malaba in Central Kenya.
Translation? Next time you vote, go with someone who will get you into government instead of becoming a useless stone thrower ha ha ha!!
@@Kittygacha_playz I'm assuming you're in the government and benefitting! If not, you need to rethink your life Mr. Stone Thrower!
That guy anasema ati ni long term....hiyo pesa una kunya pombe nayo kama unge save u invest in stocks instead of drinking you'd be far
I missed you Victoria 😘
Who finds it intriging how common citizens talk of how the roads will be of help to them
You need to understand economics to see how it helps them ,because it does
What kind of ignorance saying that barabara hazisaidii...kuchimba mtaro ndio inasaidia
Uhuru legacy
Kenyans are funny. You can not have any development be it jobs or growing the economy withiout infrastructure. Infrastructure be it dams, roads, bridges, power stations, rails are the bedrock or foundation of an economy. To build these, you need massive amounts of money that the country can not fianance with its sources of taxation. Currently the taxes we collect are not enough to build these projects. We can not even finance or pay for our current budgets we have to borrow to sustain our budget allocations. So what do you do. Where do you find money. You have to borrow and use these funds to build infrastructre that will pay off the debts in the long term.
How can u invest in place where there is no good road network, electricity, water among others?
This is how corruption thrives. Borrow from other countries under the pretext of infrastructure development and only invest 10% of the funds, the rest then goes into politicians pockets.
@@sevenscounty409 So can you suggest how to grow an economy instead of cynicism. YEs there is corruption but we can not let the fear of corruption stop us from developing. No country ever became developed without infrastructure and many had to borrow. Germany borrowed from USA heavily and after building out their infrastucture they have now become a lender and a economic super power in their own right
@@daviddavis7959 Exactly the benefit outways the fear that we might be blow away the debt ceiling, because once those roads, railway, ports are done the potential will be limitlessness
@@fideltuda4678 Especially this is the right time to do it. With covid for 2-3 yrs slowing down growth these infra projects provided a cushion by creating jobs during covid period. When the global economies open up after covid, we will already have the infra in place to spur growth. Infact we need more infra projects. Infra never stops being built. Infra is an ongoing process as economies grow the need for more infra is needed. We still along way to ensure we have adequate infra in areas of sewer systems, water, especially water we need to tap our vast sources of water like Turkana aquifeiers, rivers in western Kenya causing floods, Lake victoria, tana river whereby when it rains people downstream are flooded out. How can we capture those waters and redirect them for drinking water and irrigation.
Then utaskia hizi manyangau zikisema ohh uhuru a retire,uhuru is useless tunataka Uda. While uhuru is doing so much for them.kwani mnataka nini? pesa kwa mkono ? here in kilifi and malindi we can only dream of developments like this. Nyi watu wa central ni washenzi sana spoilt brats!!.

The roads have no traffic...where is the justification for a dual carriageway. Roads like the Mombasa malindi highway or even Mombasa Mtwapa deserve better than even a dual carriageway. This government is just incompetent
No traffic? Have you been on these roads?
Baba said nr one infrastructure
Nr two infrastructure
Nr three infrastructure
Nr four infrastructure and
E, t, c etc infrastructure
He needs to win ONE election before talking infrastructure.
A shout-out to HE President Uhuru, the infrastructure legend
And where his kale block🤣🤣🤣
did he just say its will completed in 2022😂
What do people want surely….. !??? Unga ya 100?
Dam haimsaidii na she's selling food to workers at the dam....don't you see the problem?
That Edwin Gakinya guy is one smart fella, he's articulated it very well, only way roads impact on people's lives is if they're directly employed to work on them during construction. This is what happened in the US under FDR with the New Deal projects on rail and roads, not these Chinese roads built on expensive loans.
My brother don't compare the United States with Kenya? Because when the United States needs money for a infrastructure project all they do is print the money, while in Kenya 🇰🇪 and Jamaica 🇯🇲 we have to Barrow it from Europe and the United States with high interest rates or from China with low interest rates.
Oh really? Like the USA has built anything in Kenya???
This might look good to people without knowledge but remember all this belong to china and some few big end who will benefit by pinching some money off the projects, but this is a new colonialist in long term mkenya .
Wow sometimes wish such projects could be done where I come from...how dare u say Barabara hainisaidii....can't he think literally whenever he gets a medical emergency...atapelekwa hosi rahisi
Good job Uhuru. But kindly mark the roads.

The development should be nationwide not where the president comes from
you can be sure this is not a news podcast, but an advert by someone big in the government,, who has interest in influencing the next general election. But its beautiful to see the upgrades ongoing. and I will be a major beneficially of this progress
