Jubilee Roads

So from 1963 to 2014, only 11,278 Km of bitumen roads had been constructed in Kenya at an average of 221 km/yr. In the 4 years from 2014 to 2018 a total of 7,377km of bitumen roads were built by the Jubilee Government, that’s a yearly average of 1,844km/year. Reflect on that.

Roads are not cheap to build and need a lot of machinery and personal. Building those kind of roads per year is next to impossible for a country like Kenya. Also why not turn to maintaining the roads that are there already and in pathetic state rather than building new ones.

The data from Kerra and Kura exposes the Jubilee lies on roads. These guys have reached a point they believe their own lies!!

A quick scan shows that over 90% of the roads are between 0-10% completion; under procurement or planned. Seems Uhuru is given a figure of 700 Kms which he extrapolates to 7,000 -10,000 depending on the drinks he has had.

The cost bits are just outrageous - we already have roads at 1 billion per Km.

Use human labor. Too many people without jobs. USA did it in 1950s. China did it. Every place did it, except Kenya 'where someone has to take a cut.

Now you know why our economic growth rate of 6% may as well be cooked. Just like the Chinese

These roads are real - they are just mostly low volume seal - I can speak of Bomet, Kericho and Nakuru - and I have used these new jubilee roads. The same for Narok county. On average every county that I know bar a few - had like 300kms under construction....

Roads don't have to be expensive. Jubilee when it's was thinking - simply changed the design - these roads are not designed to be fast - they are low volume - there is little compensation - because they utilize the existing corrindor. This is what Kenya need to do esp in rural areas. KENHA can build the highways at slow pace - but definitely kura and kerra should continue with low volume roads - which are commensurate with the little traffic in there.

The narrative is consistent. First, fudged figures of thousands of roads kms constructed. When the figures are busted, the tune changes to low volume and high volume roads. This was the tune with SGR. When the inflated cost was flagged before construction, the claim was that it would see high ROI in just a few months. When that was busted, the tune has changed to Uganda sabotage, long-term investment blah blah. Better stick to the digital silk roads.

When did you and Dr Ndii bust anything.SGR from MSA-NBO is going to be profitable.Beyond Nairobi - we depend on transit cargo.Tanzania one is the one that will not be profitable this century - all their cargo mostly end in Dar . Ethiopia are struggling but kenya's way ahead of schedule. These roads are real. The electricity connection is real. Jubilee did so great a job all you are left with is disbelief.
