Chinese-built electric buses land in Kenya

- 40% of commuters in African cities like traffic-snarled Nairobi rely on diesel buses. But many of these vehicles are prone to smog and poorly maintained. Now, Chinese-built electric buses have begun to ply the Kenyan capital’s streets, offering a comfortable and eco-friendly transport alternative.

People like to complain about debt this and that but one thing is that China and Kenya relations are too strong to be cut short by western propaganda. They helped us setup complex infrastructure when others countries were not interested in helping.
People like to complain(full stop)
ask sri lanka and pakistan.
Go Kenya dont listen to the haters. This will ween us from importation of oil and save billions on importation plus have a clean environment. While other countries ring their hands because its chinese in Kenya we move foward. No country can do everything on its own. This bus company needs to flood the country with these buses and end the matatu culture or leave them in the periphery. With low cost of maintainance and 70% savings on fuel, thus offering affordable fares these electric buses will drive out Matatus or force Matatus to go electric which will be better for all of us. Watch this space
You hypothesis is all based on principle but not practise. We are far away from going full electric on our infrastructure if ever at all but these buses are a step in a loooooong path towards the right direction...@davis david
This great innovation that is environmentaly friendly
I love these originals
Good job CGTN Africa👍🏻
As a Kenyan I don't mind electric buses, they just need Graffiti and loud music.
Are you even serious?🤔
😂😂😂I knew someone will say this lol
Seriously? When others are going forward we always make two steps forward and then 20 steps backwards in our thinking.
@@stiches803 Graffiti on matatu is our cultural identity known all over the world. when people see a matatu with graffiti and music they immediately know its Kenya. look at you, embarrassed of your own Identity wanting to fit in like others.
@@menradmwaliko3661 What is backward about graffiti and loud music?
Good Job Kenya 🇰🇪 …
Good 👍
Awesome.
South Africa actually built and manufactured Africas first electric bus , in their country , I think that’s a much better initiative than this
You are wrong South Africa also introduced the BYD electric bus. Actually a Kenyan company Opibus launched the first electric bus designed and built in Africa.
@@rodneyagesa1851 Mate , South Africa built then first , launched them in 2019 , this isn’t even Kenyan , any way hope you have electricity to charge them
that's right, they did it in their own way, we have our own way of life too.
@@christopherwalker1157 we don't experience blackouts here like in South Africa. We've go plenty of electricity!
@@george_kimani South Africa supplies 80 % of all electricity in Africa , where do you think you get got from idiot , and no loadshedding hasn’t happened for months now
EVs is the future. Congrats
Isuzu buses should wake up
90% renewable energy but am still getting diesel/fossil fuel rates added to my electricity bill?. 😂😂😂
Instead of Kenya government encouraging "local entrepreneurs" to invest in their own country they depend & prefer "foreign investors" to invest in Kenya. This shows that Kenya depends entirely on foreign investments for economic growth. How is Kenya supposed then to uplift it's population from poverty if the government focuses only on foreign capital 🤷🏿♂️. This economic model is not sustainable for the long term development of Kenya. Local Kenyans should be given priority to own the means of economic production & development in the country. We need to entangle ourselves from the western financial system becoz when it collapses, we all go down with it. Look at what happened in 2008 with the GFC, instigated solely by american banks collapse.
Kenyans are famous for corruption and would never make a project like this one work on their own. The only reason we got modern roads, highways, railways, bridges & ports is because the Chinese control everything from start to finish. I was born and raised there, I know how things work.
I am also wandering dual carriage on Mombasa Road , Thika superhighway, Wayaki way , Outering road , Dual carriage are uncountable is true you haven't been to Kenya since 1963
@@magellanmax "you were born & raised there"...well that is along time ago.
The Kenya of today is a different. The corruption you speak of is very minimal to say the least. The government has put in place laws to prosecute corrupted individuals. Many have faced the full force of the law. Monies have been returned & recovered.
To say china controls everything is a lie. Kenya is not a Chinese colony. Kenya is in partnership with china for economic development & growth. The west is extremely jealous of this partnership becoz they are loosing influence in Africa. China is putting it's money on the ground in Africa & we appreciate that. The west only extracts resources from Africa for their own benefit.
To say Kenyans do not have the intelligence & capacity to develop their own country is extremely insulting. We are more than capable of developing our own country.
It took America 400 years to reach the economic growth they are in today. Kenya has only been independent for 60 years.
Nothing is preventing local investors from investing. We just don’t have smart enough people to execute these things
Why don't you do something about investing in kenya instead of shouting from the mountains
TAIWAN is a country!
Let’s hope they do not explode
We have our senses off 🙈 electric vehicles have batteries which depend on cobalt and lithium minerals source from congo and other countries but 70% of the reserve come from DRC where cases of child labour and exploitation is rampant, miners earn less than a 💵 a day
0:55
Now let the Chinese bring cheap EVs in Kenya and build charging stations.
We should partner and make them here. Try sourcing some percentage from within E.African minerals in a legit way.
And use what electricity for the EV support network???
@@explorelondon3695what's charging the ones you see in this video?
@@george_kimani A typical Kenyan way of looking at things but are you an expert in Renewable Energy?
@@explorelondon3695 Rome wasn't built in one day.. this is a good start.
Made in China
Plot twist: The lithium and cobalt in the batteries come from the child-labor prone country in Africa 🇨🇩
In short it should be manufactered in the country with those import from DRC bet tech companies should invest
We want to use our own oil after that we will use electricity bus
KENYA NEEDS DUAL CARRIAGE WAY OR 2 LANE ROAD EACH SIDE, THERE IS NO DUAL CARRIAGE IN KENYA AT ALL SINCE INDEPENDENCE 1963. FROM WATAMU TO MALINDI IS 15 TO 20 MINUTES AND NO DUAL CARRIAGE WAY, IF THERE IS DUAL CARRIAGE THAT SAME JOURNEY WILL TAKE LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.
You sound like you have not been in Kenya since 1963
@@oness1334😁😁
You have not been in kenya and you don't do research. Even a simple search in UA-cam will show you kenya of today has changed and has alot of Dual roads.
Are you mad or have you recently escaped from Somalia?
kenya why is Chinese so important do you every things rail road and electricity bus are why this opportunity give to Chinese always are there no kenyan how can do this
if you are not Kenyan, focus to solve issues in your own country and leave us alone, its our way of life
@@masj8160 kkkkkkkkl shame on you I will never make Chinese to be my boss bcs I am smart than Chinese in my life that why kenyan you so poor is bcs of Chinese I work with the European the people I trust not Chinese I will ever trust a Chinese woman being
@@niconkola9314 we don't care my friend, work with whoever you want its your business. you try to intimidate who? poverty in Kenya shouldn't bother you at all, you're not Kenyan anyway
@@masj8160 the problem is those slum in kabera that place in not good for human being as long you give Chinese contract the slum we need and in this millennium it no human.being stay the people in matare and kabera that's am not born they're and I don't wish to kenyan
@@niconkola9314 my friend, stop thinking that you know Kenya better than us. We have plans for everything, its our country, so just move on with your life and enjoy your peace elsewhere. Tell me the relationship between an electric bus and a slum if you want to justify your arguments. Otherwise, I still consider it as non of your business. You claim to work with people from Europe, keep your ideas there and leave Kenyans to deal with their own issues, we didn't ask for your opinions anyway.
How much debt will the Kenyan people take on for this?
hater !!! the Chinese always renegotiate our debts. its only the IMF & the Western loans that are predatory
@@shifuugincii how many decades will it take Kenya to pay for the ongoing SGR?
It’s better than western colonisation anyways
@@discoverchina1885 that's your response? Not, that Kenya will be in high debts?
Basigo is a private startup. Not everything is government debt funded
11 Well, this morning, I would like to talk about the subject, "The Christian paganism" because there is a Christian paganism and it is a subtle paganism! But if you do not understand it, it’s not a problem as long as you hide in the living prophet of your generation...
12 First, the word pagan derives from the word paganism as “Christian” and “Christianity”. The pagan is the follower of paganism. So it is not the one who does not believe in God or one who does not go to church or to the mosque but the follower of paganism. Do not confuse a pagan with an atheist. You see? Paganism is the intermingling of different spirits! There are three groups in one generation: the atheists, the pagans and the worshippers of the true God. [Ed: The congregation says,"Amen!"].
13 Where there is a worship of the devil, there is paganism. Paganism really started at the foundation of Babylon with Nimrod. And that visited every generation on the earth through Egypt, making its way side by side with the worship of the true God. When the prophets of Baal were exhibiting themselves down there before Elijah the Tishbite, it was the very first form of paganism in the name of the Hebrews’ God! You see? There are two forms of paganism: a form under the Old Covenant, in the Old Testament with Judaism and a second form in the New Testament with Christianity. But this morning, I am going to show another form of paganism, a third one which is the subtlest form ever and that is why God has to send a prophet to reveal that to us. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
14 The first form of paganism is that of the Egyptians and Romans. It is when, in one nation or tribe, different gods establish themselves and have people worship them independently of each other. You see? Take the book of Exodus and you will see that Egyptians used to worship several gods. What is this? It is the paganism: Hapy the god of protection, the god Osiris, the god Sabek, the god Thoth who is the god of miracles. There was also the god Buto, the god Horus, the god Hathor, the god Amon-ra who is the god of the divine healing and so on. You see? It was in the first form of paganism and these gods do not differ from the gods Nergal, Adrammelech, Nibkhaz, Tharthak and Succoth-Benoth of the nations.
15 And later on, they were those same gods who made altars called Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, Zealots, Essenes... and today they are those same gods who established themselves in Islam and Judaism and Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist churches including all the so-called revealed or restored churches under the form of holy spirits. And this is the second form of paganism trying to give the image of only one and supreme god on the basis of the Bible.
16 And in third place, it is still question of Christianity! When you see Branhamists organize themselves in choirs with uniforms like Methodists, it’s paganism. Look at the age of John Wesley: Everything you have today like the hymn book On the wings of faith and which is, in the history of Christianity, the most important hymn book and others, all that comes from the time of John Wesley. In the same way that God sent some prophets to the Jews, so did God send some to the nations and the same Spirit who inspired David in the Psalms also inspired Charles Wesley. And today, two hundred years later, trying to replicate that while the biblical prophecies do not show it, that is paganism. You see?
17 Even angels, archangels, seraphim, and cherubim do not have the same functions. And even among the classes of angels, the archangels, for example have functions differing from one Archangel to another. The Cherubim have ministries differing from one Cherub to another. Seraphim have ministries differing from one Seraph to another. For example, Archangel Gabriel has a ministry of information and he is like the foreign minister in the Government of God whereas Archangel Michael is the defence minister and cannot get about with a choir because there is no paganism in God. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
18 Now, follow what I am going to read in the brochure "Revelation chapter 1" by William Branham: "A woman stood up in the meeting, a Baptist woman, come over there, not knowing what she could do. And she was standing in the midst of the meeting, and the Holy Spirit fell on her, and she began to speak with tongues… And then, before she could say anything, the Holy Spirit give the interpretation, said, “Thus saith the Lord: Within three months there’ll be the Spirit of Moses, Elijah, and Christ ministering in this Tabernacle.” There it happened perfectly." Amen! Keep this in mind: The Spirit of Moses, of Elijah and of Christ will minister in this tabernacle! Amen! This is the exact truth and you for whom everything has to be biblical, how are you going to explain this? You see?
19 For example, the Bible talks about four living creatures, but it’s question of four dispensations of the Holy Spirit. There was a time when the living creature in the likeness of a lion ministered then there was a time when the living creature in the likeness of a calf ministered and sixty-eight millions of Christians were killed then there was a time when the living creature having the face of a man with Martin Luther ministered and now it is the living creature having the face of an eagle. You see? All ministering according to their dispensation. If you are asked for example if a Christian can drink wine today, you must answer according to the dispensation of the Spirit that is ministering today [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
