The combined total for Tanzania + Uganda + Somalia + South Sudan + Rwanda + Burundi is about 24,300.68 km. Kenya alone at 24,900 km is therefore ahead by about 599 km, meaning Kenya is roughly 102.5% of that combined total.
So the corrected position is:
Kenyaโs total bitumen-standard road network is about 24,900 km, which is larger than each of Tanzania, Uganda, Somalia, South Sudan, Rwanda, and Burundi individually, and is also marginally larger than all six combined.
@baroswahjr This is the fakest politician. If you own the company which owns land you declare the company as your property and its value takes into account what it owns. If you own a company owning 2.3B of land then you own a 2.3B worth company.
@briansureobino@Cjamehk@grok@grok as he done anything about pending bills in the road sector? How much was it before he joined and how much if it has been settled?
@briansureobino@Cjamehk@grok Kindy analyse the achievements attributed to the CS Davies Chirchir under Ministry of Energy and also as CS Roads and Transport and analyse if he has appeared in media to elaborate any government initiatives and policies.
@smutoro@VillageMarket@Cofek_Kenya This is a private road built on private property for their exclusive use. Now you want to lose their land and use their money at the same time to necessitate you get a shortcut? Sunguka if you don't want to compensate their efforts
@AlinurMohamed_ King of sensationalisation. Must make common sense. Deducting opportunity cost from proceeds is not the way. Could have argued lost opportunity for more not deduct from proceeds. Then again 100b flat license from one player. Make it make sense. Over what period?
@NjiruAdv That's exactly what happened last time. Even better it's final at polling station. Declaration at Constituency TC & National TC. You cannot shout your ignorance and think it passes as truth the louder it gets.
@vinguard254 You would rather pay toll of 3600 for a private car instead of 1000? Seems some few people only see the bad. It was cancelled in June 2025 after it was deemed too expensive for tolls. Private car 3600 and truck 18,000? Unrealistic
Propaganda: it's a toll road. No contractor is paid they recoup from toll. Under French Vinci the toll would have been 21KShs/KM. Under the new consortium it's 9.5KSh/KM. It means for private cars under Vinci you would have paid KShs3,675 to Mau Summit but in the new it's KShs1,665. Half. Stop lies
His statements is correct but also justifies the WSR point. In less than 10 days as per Ndindi Nyoro's statement the exchange rate deteriorated with the KSHs depreciating by a whole 2 shillings in 10 days. The trajectory, therefore, as per his own admission was the Shilling was weakening faster before WSR assumed office. Assuming office could not stop it until mitigation measures were put in place. Therefore, drawing a 10 day curve and extrapolating it to 2025 would have meant the Shs will be at 300. So stabilising the shilling is real then based on his statements without altering anything and not taking sides. Could the curve from June 2022 be drawn and we see how it would have ended up. Let's fact check now based on what was happening to the shilling rather than a spot number when you intentionally remove the trend.
Very good question on the last mile. Currently KPLC does not do social connections but the last mile project they are currently running is funded by AfDP. KPLC charges commercial rates for connections but the big question is the power revenues they get from this connections where they do not charge them commercial rates. What will it mean for lifeline tariff. Basically the last mile is not bad if funded but the power supply to last mile customers is more of social responsibility rather than a commercial transaction. Good debate
