New roads will help boost economic activity in East Africa
The economies of East Africa have been growing in the last five years, exerting pressure on the existing road network whose expansion has not kept pace with the increasing gross domestic product (GDP) largely because of inadequate financing. In spite of the growing economies in East Africa, governments in the region continue missing revenue collection targets while increasing both recurrent and development expenditure with more reliance on external financing to meet their infrastructure demand amid growing interest in public private partnership (PPP) as the other funding option.
Tanzania's economic growth was estimated at 6.5% for 2017 with analysts projecting a 6.7% and 6.9% growth in 2018 and 2019 respectively, while in Kenya the growth was about 5% in 2017 with projections of 5.6% and 6.2% for 2018 and 2019 respectively. Both Uganda and Rwanda expect an economic expansion of 5.9% and 7.2% respectively for 2018 up from 4.8% and 6.1% respectively in 2017. Further growth is projected by the two countries in 2019 at rate of 6% and 7.5% respectively.
Each country in the region has prioritised infrastructure expansion, upgrading and maintenance in their respective national budgets that continue posting increasing deficits that hamper these government's capacity to finance capital projects especially in the road sector.
Currently, unpaved roads comprise the largest share in East Africa's road network while the list of those that are not maintained or impassable continues to grow longer even with increased financial support from the World Bank, African Development Bank and a mix of loans from China, Japan, European Investment Bank and AFP. For example in Tanzania, only 9,951km or 27% of the country's 36,258km classified national road network is paved. The country's State-run roads agency, Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) dreams of paving an additional 4,000km by 2022.
During the 2018/19 fiscal year, Tanzania plans to spend an estimated US$655 million on development of 62 roads linking districts and regions as part of the $1.8 billion budget allocation for the Ministry of Works, Transport, and Communication.These road projects are part of TANROADS' 2016-2021 five-year strategic plan under which the State-run agency will construct, upgrade and rehabilitate a total of 188 roads.
Within the five years, TANROADS, which has spent $2.1 billion on road development and maintenance since 2015, also hopes to construct or upgrade 76 trunk roads of 3,398km and 112 regional roads of 5,3318km. An additional 1,683km of trunk roads will be rehabilitated and 29km of regional roads by 2021. These are in addition to the construction of 21 bridges, rehabilitation of two others and construction of 18 flyover/interchanges/junctions over the five-year period.

Mnuka nnya Teargas ktk ubora wako
 
Mnuka mavi wewe kwanza umeshaenda choo kwa mfuko?
I have hit the nerve 😂😂😂. Let me go on,

Did you know that Dar is slum port only have 7 operational berths while Mombasa port has 21 operational.

Did you know that Nairobi's wealth is bigger than the wealth of all cities and towns in Tanzania?

Did you know that most influential people in Tanzania come to Nairobi for treatment?

Did you know that your government officials uses Kenyan helicopters to do their campaigns?

Did you know that Kisumu has more interchanges than Dar is slum?

Did you know that Tanzanian construction companies is colonized by Indians?
 
Shusha kidogo iwe 450km uichore kwenye nnya kabisa!
Kushusha itanisaidia na nini? Tge whole world knows that Tanzanian total paved roads ni 9,000km. I can't add or reduce anything on the figure.
 
Nchi ina njaa kuliko Afghanistan, nchi ina magonjwa kama yote, nchi ina ukame kuliko Sudan, nchi mpk leo inasumbuliwa cholera, nchi ina laana za mababu na mabibi kiasi cha kwamba hawana chakula cha kutosha alafu mnataka kushindana na blessed country ambayo Rais hata awe mbwa na bado hakuna njaa, vita wala ubaguzi.
 
Uyu mnuka mavi anazingua kweli, mara aseme wana 20k km of paved roads mara aseme 19k mara 22k, katawaze kwanza unatunukisha mafi apa
In 2018 we had 18k of paved roads, in 2019 we had 21k km of roads and in 2020 we had 22k. We are waiting for 2021 figures to be released next.
 
Nchi ina njaa kuliko Afghanistan, nchi ina magonjwa kama yote, nchi ina ukame kuliko Sudan, nchi mpk leo inasumbuliwa cholera, nchi ina laana za mababu na mabibi kiasi cha kwamba hawana chakula cha kutosha alafu mnataka kushindana na blessed country ambayo Rais hata awe mbwa na bado hakuna njaa, vita wala ubaguzi.

Tuzidi kuwaombea
 
Mkuu hii timu ya mama ni kumvava hamna kitu pale. Funds wanazotumia hapa ni sawa na kujenga barabara ya changarawe then baada ya miaka kadhaa unatangaza tenda mpya ya kujenga lami. Wangeitumia hiyo research kuandikisha nida kwa wasionavyo ningewaona angalau wanaelekea
Ila nyie kima sijui mko na mavi kichwani badala ya ubongo..Sensa ndio inaanza mwakani au?

Hili ni zoezi muhimu kwenye ustawi wa nchi na hufanyika kila baada ya miaka 10 sasa sijui nyie pimbi mnatakaje
 
Kwakua walishafanya sensa miaka iliyopita, wasingekua na haja ya kufanya sensa tena kwakurecord watoto wanaozaliwa, watu wanaokufa, wanaohama na wanaohamia. So ukiloose mtu unatoa kutoka kwenye idadi, ukigain unaadd kwenye idadi .
Teknolojia ilikuwepo hiyo miaka unayoisema? Ndio maana nasema umejaa mavi kichwani,kuanzia mwaka huu ndio data base itakuwepo rasmi

SUMMARY​

  • British exploration firm Tullow Oil has presented its long-awaited revised development plan for oil production in Turkana County.
  • The company, which entered Kenya in 2010, said it has recommended changes to its initial design to incorporate a bigger processing facility and oil pipeline.



British exploration firm Tullow Oil has presented its long-awaited revised development plan for oil production in Turkana County, raising the project’s gross budget to about $3.4billion (Sh373.6 billion).

The company, which entered Kenya in 2010, said it has recommended changes to its initial design to incorporate a bigger processing facility and oil pipeline.

“The increase in capex (capital expenditure) from the previous design is due to a bigger facility processing capacity, additional wells to be drilled and larger diameter crude oil export pipeline, which delivers 30 percent increase in resources whilst lowering the unit cost to $22(Sh2,417.8)/bbl (previously c.$31(Sh3,406.9)/bbl),” Rahul Dhir, Tullow Oil plc’s chief executive officer, said in a statement.

The British firm now expects to recover 585 million barrels of oil (mmbo) from the project over the full life of the field—which Reuters said is 14 percent higher than an earlier estimate by analysts at JPMorgan.

“The revised concept also allows greater flexibility in adding additional fields into production without significant modifications to the project’s infrastructure,” Dhir said.

Approval of the plan will see Tullow commence the construction of a pipeline, which is estimated to take three years. Tullow said it expects to produce up to 120,000 barrels per day once production starts.

Tullow, which struck oil in the Lokichar basin of Turkana nine years ago, is yet to develop the field for commercial production amid growing frustrations for Kenya over delayed petroleum wealth benefits.

The firm has attributed the production delay has been attributed to several factors, including unfavourable global oil prices, approval delays for land and water rights, a tax dispute, and Covid-19 disruptions.

Tullow is eyeing a strategic investor for the project ahead of possible approvals for its investment plan. “Tullow and its JV Partners are actively seeking strategic partners for the project,” said Tullow.

“Based on the revised plan, Tullow believes that this project is an attractive commercial prospect for investors looking to access the East Africa oil and gas sector in both the upstream and midstream. It is intended that a strategic partner will be secured ahead of a final investment decision.”

Kenya had set a December deadline for Tullow to present a comprehensive investment plan for oil production in Turkana or risk losing concession on two exploration fields in the area.

Petroleum and Mining Principal Secretary Andrew Kamau told the Business Daily earlier this year the December deadline would be enforced.

“Conditions are always there in the PSC (Production Sharing Contract),” he said in April about the ultimatum.

Kenya first announced the discovery of oil in Turkana in Block 10BB and 13T in March 2012, raising hopes of much-needed petro-dollars to fuel economic growth. But the country is yet to fully commercialise crude oil.

Tullow and its partners in the project, Africa Oil and Total, had initially planned to reach a final investment decision in 2019 and production of the first oil between this year and next year.
