I used to work for Goldline Bus Service and also Kenya Road Transport, remembering clearing goods from the Mombasa Port and then bringing it to the Co's godown unless we had full truck load especially paint ( it came in 50gal, barrels ) Ana famu luga ya heyo Nderefa, ana juwa tabu yake njiani, safari sterehe njomba
We are not poor, we are one of the most heavily taxed nations in the world, our people suffer corruption and we lack a government with a will to deal with some of the most important issues in our economy.
I fully understand the driver's views as a former trucker in East Africa, if the relevant authorities would listen to the opinions and views of people who work first hand in the industry they would learn alot.
That is why Asia development sky rocketed...and Africa was left in the ages......corruption, it is an infection, and in Kenya it went all the way to the top. So every other official used it as get out of jail card, if my boss is doing it, I am going to do it, and likely my subordinates are going to do it.
2300 km in TWENTY DAYS??? Is that a joke? Even driving only during the day (10h a day) it gives shocking 11.5 km/h!!! Donkeys are a little bit slower.. Guys - you really need something like African Economic Area, where border check could be done anywhere inside the country by border guard.
African authrotires are facing a real lack of experience and knowledge. They should be trained and we (the diaspora) are here to assist (with much experience from Europe and America), but they do not want to be challenged. They simply fear competition, which is a matter of concern for the future of this rich continent: Africa. They must be competitive and we can teach them how to run Africa, if they want to.

didnt know how logistics went down over there, there could be a lot more help to make it smoother.
inefficiency is what is killing African progress until we figure how to do thing right and quicker, we have a long way to go.

That was a good video, but should have been longer.
