I called this engineer, who told me he is an expert in drilling boreholes. On arrival, this is how he is locating water underground.
I am still in shock ๐ฒ๐คง
Very correct...the regulator's idea of local capacity in such projects is the involvement of a local consulting firm which engages just some few engineers. I am afraid even 20 years later we won't have the capacity for a local firm to execute mega projects with such arrangements
@LegalEzra@6_size The very senior guys in their field get economic rents from being 'consultants' for any major chicom project. It lines their pockets just enough for them to forget that the future of a 1b+ population continent involves mega infrastructure projects na as it stands chinese will
@LegalEzra @the_nilote_ @xysist@K2grind@Adenya_E We disguise skewed national resource allocation as lobbying yet we know what happens. This F/Y, two roads in my village are earmarked for tarmacking simply coz the new Chair of the Budget Committee comes from a neighbouring constituency. If it continues for the next 20 yrs?
Our decision makers don't have any idea on what transfer of technology, or capacity building means. The PPP Secretariat and promoters like KETRACO and KENHA are just an incompetent bunch.
Local manufacturing in Kenya has been defined to include assembly. So, you find Isuzu, for example, importing all the parts, including side-mirrors and car floor mats, then assembling them at their Mombasa Rd plant
They then benefit from huge tax relief and access to government procurement
At KPLC, I saw some person claiming to be a local manufacturer by importing all the parts of electricity meters, including the 'Made in Kenya ' stickers
Even the staff doing the actual assembly were foreigners who came in with the parts from abroad
The guy was then awarded the tender reserved for local Manufacturers only.
The problem is having Economists, Lawyers, Political Scientists, so called Procurement Experts making decisions on things they have no clue.
Same as Transformer Manufacturers who only put labels and claim to be Manufacturing
Adani deals, Africa 50 deals are just one if the many fiascos.
3rd World will remain 3rd World. Remember the magical figure 72!
