Thanks for the update. Stuck at SGR over 20 billions loss in 3 yrs. Imagine what that kind of money would do if its pumped in 2 or 4 counties...SGR is not sustainable same case with KQ.

The Southern Bypass was constructed by China Roads and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) using loans from China Exim Bank. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) in 2012 picked CRBC to construct the four-lane dual carriageway highway, at $180 million (Sh18 billion).

So how do high priest run away from this date 2012? Where was he looking?

Kenyans forgot to ask at what cost. Also first world countries build their own roads and do not need foreigners to do it for them. That is why even 5 years now SGR is running and still Chinaman drives the locomotives and runs the show on all surrounding the SGR.

KRA doing great means high prices - fuel, cooking oil, LPG. 51% collected going to pay these debts.

It is not when we were singing that it is future generation who will pay. You pose on SGR one day, the other day you are crying about higher food prices.

There is time to leverage or borrow and there is time to dip into your savings.Kenya should start selling safaricoms and finance the budget for two years then leverage again
