Africa: Kenya 'Becoming Economic Heartbeat of Continent'

[moyo]

When Tanzanians launch the Stiggler's gorge, it will generate 2,000MW at a very low cost of only 2.5Bn dollar. It will take only 5 years to complete this mammoth project, only CCM being in power is the cause of the delay. You arrogant Kenyans with ur Know-it-All attitude, are taking advantages of poor vision of ccm leaders to dominate the region. From 2015 the giant Tanzania unfold

Whatever it is that u have drunk/smoked or sniffed pls stop it! it does not work for u! leaders are a reflection of the people! and if CCM's leaders are "visionless"then its a reflection of the Tanzanian society!..again at no time has Kenya been in competition with Tanzania!.We r not in the same league!.... even though we want the best for u-no wonder we have been offering our selfless services to ua country-...know giants are not made in 3yrs...change us people's attitude and the right leaders will emerge among u...hope u will catch up with us in the next 103yrs!

Mkuu, kwanza title yake niliona kichekesho sana - nikajuhiliza hivi hawa wenzetu wanajua kinacho endelea kwa majirani zao au wanafanya makosa kama yaliyo wahi kufanyika huko Amerika kwa muda mrefu, oh yes Wamerikani walikuwa na majivuno sana wanafikili dunia ni Amerika, wanakuja kushtuka wanakuta Uchina imekaribia kuwapiku kiuchumi, na actually Wachina wamewahi kuwapa Wamerikani msaada wa fedha mabenki yao yalipo yumba kiuchumi, sikusikia Wamerikani wanazungumzia tena mambo ya evil of COMMUNISM wako kimya! Wamerikani wakajikuta wanakumbuka kujifunika kshuka asubuhi! Ni vizuri Kenya kuzungumzia Vision 2030 ya nchi yao; lakini wasije wakabweteka wakafikili wenzao wamelala na kutoa impression as if nchi nyingine East Africa hazina vision yoyote.

Nilikuwa curious kujua ni nani ka andika makala hii - nakakuta jina la ISAIAH ESIPISU, mimi sijuhi huyu ni raia wa nchi gani unless makala yenyewe ilikuwa inakusudiwa kusomwa na Raia wa huko Kenya, lakini at least angefanya ka-utafiti kidogo kujua nchi nyingine katika Africa Mashariki wanafanya nini.

Hivi Kenya kuzalisha umeme wa 1.6GW kutokana na maporomoko ya maji (Hydro), 400MW kutokana na geothermal na 300MW kutokana na upepo, tukijumlisha vyanzo vyote hivyo Kenya iweza kuzalisha umeme wa capacity ya kufikia 2.3GW basi; hivi kweli capacity ya namna hiyo ndiyo inaweza kubadilisha Kenya kuwa "an economic powerhouse in the region."? Wakati Tanzania ina uwezo wa ku-generate umeme wa capacity close to a TERA WATTS.

Namshauri aliye andika makala hii kuhusu Kenya, ajaribu kufanya ka-utafiti kidogo kuhusu Tanzania na Projects za kuzalisha UMEME, kwanza anaweza kuanzia Steglier Gorge Hydro Project akimalizika itakuwa unazalisha umeme wa GW ngapi, pili Projects za kuzalisha umeme kwa kutumia upepo kule Makambako na Singida, Umeme unaotokana na Gas turbines - kumbuka Tanzania inaongoza kwa kuwa na natural gas nyingi sana na mitambo hii itakuwa nyingi sana, umeme wa kutokana na geothermal hatujauwekea maanani, lakini vyanzo vya nishati hiyo vipo vingi tu Tanzania, tukijumlisha Genarating capacity ya vyanzo vyote hivyo, Kenya doesn't even come a distant SECOND, kwa hiyo mambo mengine muache kuwa mnaweka CHUMVI mno.

I found this discussion interesting.I respect people's views even when they say nothing. my understanding of the original article is this; kenya is gearing for a rapid growth and to do this it has identified lack of energy as the greatests hurdle after roads and all. Among the sources to be developed is Geothermal power for which the country has a capacity to produce 7000MW; wind power is another sources and the country is said to have a capacity to produce another 3000MW of wind power.
over the next four years or so, the country will generate an additional 700 MW from geothermal and wind sources. Another 600MW of geothermal is is in the pipeline and 450MW of wind power are also likely to be on stream by 2018.So we are talking about maybe 10000MW from green energy sources.
That can make a country an industrial giant anywhere in the world. and the first step towards this goal has been made.

Mkuu nilisha sema hawa jamaa wengi wao majigambo tu, lakini si wote - wachache wao ni wastaarabu na wanajua kuheshimu binadamu wanzao. Ni ajabu sana wanakuwa na an inflated view of their importance katika region hii ya East Africa, lakini wakianza kukatana mapanga wanakimbilia kutafuta watu weledi/wastaarabu kutoka mataifa mengine kuwasuruhisha, mtu ungetegemea labda majigambo yao yanaweza kuwasaidia kuishi bila ukabila na kupigana ovyo lakini wapi bwana! Mkuu jaribu kusoma magazeti ya huko-utakuta sijuhi Jeff Koinage kafanya nini, Raila hivi,GEMA vile eh utachoka na kuanza kuiombea kwa Mungu KENYA iwe na AMANI, mimi nilipo soma magazeti/blog za huko nilitishika sana Mkuu.

Kuna thread fulani niliwahi kuzisoma kwenye social network fulani wakati wanataka kupigana na Uganda kwa ajili ya kisiwa cha Migongo; mambo niliyosoma humo nilibaki midomo wazi. How can a mere mortal try to be bigger than his/her head - beats ME! Lakini wana saikolojia wanasema ukiona mtu anakuwa na majigambo na kajeli mara nyingi inatokana na inferiority complex at its ZENITH - wala hiyo hisikupe TABU Mkuu wewe waombee TU.

Kawaida, ni watanzania wachache au asilimia chache wanaohesabika hapa JF huchangia mambo yenye substance. Wewe vile nionavyo huna susbstance. Mukishashindwa kuleta hoja munaanza malumbano ya sijui the Kenya'n Post election violence mara Migingo war na Kichwa cha mada kinahusiana na masuala ya UCHumi. Mimi ni mtafiti na nimeona katika uzi nyingi hapa JF munapenda kuwa na anabolic paranoia once anything about kenya inatajwa. Hatua mataifa mengine yanapiga EA ni kero KUU kwa Tz. Yakiwekwa ya Tanzania very few are able to contribute susbstance. Hii inanikumbusha msemo wa zama za kale jirani/rafiki yako ndio anaweza kuwa adui yako mkubwa. Tunakaa na jirani twacheka huku yuafurahia kwako kukiharibika.

Umenikumbusha jinsi TBC ilivoshabikia PEV Kenya with minute by minute updates za Marini Hassan akitangaza kutoka Sirikwa Hotel Eldoret! and elsewhere.

talking of 400mw while in tz we have launched one of over 2500MW. kenyan mind will always remain kenyan, no matter how exposure they get. barbaric.

so how come you have incessant power shortages?

 

[SHERRIF ARPAIO]

I think Kenya is doing well in using their few resources to create tangible benefits! I recall that Kenya is a hub for most multinational company in East Africa. With reliable power source, prospect of oil, political peace brought by new constitution, growing number of production industry, etc.....they will further their dominance in the region!

Couldn't agree more with you.

 

[Dhuks]

Tanzania is bigger than kenya, has a larger population is blessed with natural resources like gas which can be used in power generation so for its posters to take pride in what they have and fail to realise that the govt should have done more is to think small. These two countries should not even be competing in this sector, Tz should be far ahead.

 

[simplemind]

Kenya goes it alone fertilizer plant that will supply region with much needed fertilizer to boost agri- production source The East African .Question why not Tanzania with abundance of natural gas, raw material for fertilizer production?

 

[aminiusiamini]

I nod Kenyans momentum but doesn't mean Tanzanians are behind.Time will tell whose economic will grow to a powerhouse in the region for the next ten years.

The ghosts of ujamaa still haunt Tanzanians
