Uganda, Rwanda Resolve to Expedite Kampala-Kigali SGR Project​

May 24, 2023
Uganda and Rwanda have agreed to work more closely to pull off the much-anticipated standard gauge railway (SGR) line connecting Kampala and Kigali.

This was disclosed during the SGR cluster meeting held at Mestil Hotel in Kampala on Tuesday morning.

Officials from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Sudan attended the meeting aimed at revitalizing the implementation of the stalled railway project.

SGR Project Coordinator Eng Perez Wamburu said, “Uganda will not wait for the completion of the construction of the Eastern Route (Kampala-Malaba) railway line. Once we secure funding for the construction of Kampala-Kasese-Mpondwe-Mirama Hills, work will begin.”

Wamburu said construction of the Malaba-Kampala route will start in September 2023.

The meeting resolved that Uganda should “fast track sourcing for financing and completion of construction for the Kampala-Bihanga-Mirama Hills SGR section by 2029.”

Rwanda will pick up the line from Mirama Hills to Kigali.

A Rwandan official attending the meeting said, “Now that we know Uganda’s timeline, we have a baseline for developing a roadmap for the railway line.”

​

In 2014, the governments of Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda committed to the development of a standard gauge railway to link the landlocked countries of Rwanda and Uganda with Mombasa port in Kenya.

This project entailed the section from Kampala to Kasese, along which the line would branch southwards to Mirama Hills.

However, COVID-19, regional wars, a lack of financing, and the bad blood between Kigali and Kampala undermined efforts to push through the multi-billion dollar project.

In 2017, Uganda made it clear it would instead prioritise the Tororo-Gulu-Nimule railway line to connect with South Sudan before embarking on the western route (Kampala-Kasese-Mirama).

However, with improved bilateral relations, the two countries appear determined to pull off the project.

Rwanda says it is already working with a consultant to see if there is a need to update the feasibility study for the Mirama-Kigali line.

A report on the viability of updating the feasibility study is expected by August 2023.

“We are also engaging various institutions in Europe for financing of this project,” said a Rwandan official during the SGR cluster meeting.

Feasibility
ChimpReports understands that in September 2022, Uganda started updating its two-year feasibility study for the Kampala-Kasese-Mpondwe-Mirama route.

Wamburu said construction work can only commence after September 2024, meaning Rwanda can only expect to see the railway line in Mirama in 2029.

“The financiers are actually very pleased when they know that Kenya is moving to Malaba and Uganda is moving from Malaba to Kampala. And it would be easy to pull these lines into Sudan, Rwanda, and into Rwanda and DRC,” he added.

Rwanda said it has finalized the demarcation of the railway corridor from Mirama Hills to Kigali.

Rwanda and Uganda also agreed to consider the possibility of joint sourcing of financing for the railway line projects.

The construction of the railway line is expected to provide a reliable, efficient railway network, leading to reduced transportation and logistics costs.

“I wish to assure the meeting that Uganda is committed to the implementation of the SGR project,” said Benon Kajuna, the Director of Transport, Ministry of Works and Transport, and chairperson of the Northern Corridor Infrastructure Projects, SGR Cluster.

“Despite the slow progress in the last two or so years, a lot of effort is being geared towards ensuring that construction of the SGR Uganda section takes off in the next financial year,” he added.”

Officials say the decrease in transport costs can lead to sustained rapid industrialization and economic growth in the East African region, which has a population of over 300 million people.

Kenya recently committed to building the Naivasha-Malaba section.

Tanzania has since registered stunning progress in the development of over 4,000 km of standard gauge railway line as Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda grapple with financial challenges.

For example, in phase one of the railway project, Tanzania has almost completed building the Dar es Salaam-Morogoro railway line, covering at least 300 km. The overall progress on this route as of April 2023 was 98.14 percent. Progress on construction of the 422-kilometer Morogoro-Makutupora railway line stands at 93 percent as of April 2023.

Progress on the Isaka-Mwanza (341 km) route stands at 31%, while Tabora-Isaka (368 km) and Makutupora-Tabora (368 km) are at mobilization and design stages.

MY TAKE
We have a lesson to learn overhere! Though both Kigali-Dar or kigali-Tanga or Kampala-Tanga r shorter routes to the sea n our SGR construction is more defined and more advanced, the game has changed after all that JPM's hullabaloo with Kagame! Kagame can never be trusted n JPM should have known better!

The Coalition of the Willing (CoW) was established as the result of ineffective administration of Kikwete, and was utterly destroyed during Magufuli’s reign. The reestablishment of CoW is a clear indication of how unpromising and incompetent Samia government is and looked upon by regional peers.

Ndio maana sisi tunampinga Samia kwakua tunajua yeye na Kikwete uwezo mdogo, hata Museven kaiita Serikali ya Kikwete “childish” mbele za watu.

Nilitaka kusema hivi ila nikasita huyu Nimrod alikua tajiri sana sana. Aisee

Soma humu

Nimrod Elireheema Mkono (born 18 August 1943) is a Tanzanian CCM politician and Member of Parliament for Musoma Rural constituency from 2000 to 2015. He is also a practicing advocate in Mkono and advocates and former owner of Bank M ambapo aliuza hisa zake kwa matajrir wengine.x.jpeg

TUJIKUMBUSHE MAMBO YALIVYOANZA



Nyumba ya makazi ya mwanasheria na mwanasiasa nguli nchini, Nimrod Mkono, inapigwa mnada kulipa madeni, JAMHURI limethibitishiwa.



Miongoni mwa wanaomdai ni waliokuwa wafanyakazi katika Kampuni ya Uwakili ya Mkono & Company Advocates.



Mkono alikuwa Mbunge wa Musoma Vijijini (CCM), na baadaye Butiama kuanzia mwaka 2000. Mwaka 2015 alishinda ubunge kwa mara nyingine, lakini tangu mwaka 2016 yuko nchini Marekani kwa matibabu.



Mahakama Kuu Kitengo cha Kazi jijini Dar es Salaam imebariki kuuzwa kwa nyumba ya Mkono iliyopo Msasani jijini humo.



Kuuzwa kwa nyumba hiyo kunatokana na kesi iliyofunguliwa na mmoja wa wafanyakazi wa Kampuni ya Mkono & Company Advocates, Aisha Sinda. Katika madai yake, Aisha, anaidai kampuni hiyo malimbikizo ya mishahara na stahiki nyingine vinavyofikia dola 13,000 za Marekani (Sh milioni 30.134). Hadi mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita, dola moja ya Marekani iliuzwa kwa Sh 2,318.



Familia ya Mkono inapinga uamuzi huo wa mahakama kwa maelezo kuwa thamani ya nyumba na ardhi inayouzwa ni zaidi ya Sh bilioni saba.



Binti wa Mkono, Leah, amezungumza na JAMHURI na kuthibitisha kuwapo kwa tukio hilo.



“Kweli kuna uamuzi wa mahakama, lakini tumeupinga kupitia kwa mawakili wetu, naomba uwasiliane nao wakupe maelezo zaidi,” anasema Leah.



Japo familia imegoma kuingia kwa undani katika suala hili, kuna taarifa kuwa nyumba inayouzwa si mali ya Kampuni ya Mkono & Company Advocates; bali ni ya familia ya Nimrod Mkono.



Mahakama ya Kazi imeamuru kuuzwa kwa nyumba hiyo kupitia shauri Na. 380/2020. Kazi hiyo amepewa Dalali wa Mahakama, Abdallah Abeid wa Kampuni ya Tambaza Auction Mart & General Court Brokers. Amri hiyo ya Agosti 4, mwaka huu, imesainiwa na Naibu Msajili wa Mahakama, W. Ng’umbu.



Novemba, 2019 Benki ya Exim ilitangaza kupiga mnada mali za Kampuni ya Baobab Properties Limited ambayo Mkono ni mdhamini wake. Mali hizo ni zilizopo ghorofa ya nane na 10 katika Jengo la Exim lililopo Dar es Salaam.



Taarifa ya Exim Bank Tanzania inasema hatua hiyo inatokana na muda uliotolewa kwa kampuni hiyo kushindwa kulipa mkopo licha ya kuongezwa muda.



Exim ilifungua kesi Na. 21/ 2018 na Na. 59/ 2018 katika Mahakama Kuu, Kitengo cha Biashara. Kesi hizo ziliamuliwa kutokana na masharti ya kesi nyingine ya biashara Na. 59/2019 ambayo pia ilimhusu Mkono.



Exim inasema Juni, 2014 iliikopesha Baobao dola 750,000 za Marekani (Sh bilioni 1.7) Mkono akiwa mdhamini.



“Baobab ilishindwa kutimiza malipo. Hatua hiyo ilisababisha benki kutoa notisi ya kisheria ya kushindwa huko kwa Baobab na mdhamini Juni 13, 2016. Licha ya notisi hiyo na majaribio kadhaa ya benki, Baobab na mdhamini wake walishindwa kulipa mkopo huo kama ilivyotakiwa,” Exim inasema katika taarifa yake.



Baada ya kushindwa kulipa, benki hiyo ilianza kufuatilia dhamana ambazo ni mali za mkopaji Baobab zilizopo Kunduchi, Dar es Salaam. Baobab ilifungua kesi kupinga hatua hiyo. Benki ilifungua kesi Na. 59 ya 2018 kuomba amri ya mahakama ili Baobab ilipe mkopo.



Kesi hiyo ilifunguliwa na benki dhidi ya Kampuni ya Baobab iliyoshindwa kulipa deni pamoja na mdhamini wake, masikitiko.



Kesi ikiwa inaendelea mahakamani, Baobab na mdhamini wake waliingia katika majadiliano ya kirafiki yaliyofikishwa mahakamani na kutolewa hukumu iliyoweka makubaliano kati ya pande mbili kusuluhisha jambo hilo.



Exim walisema Baobab na mdhamini wake walishindwa kutekeleza masharti, hivyo kuifanya benki hiyo irejee mahakamani kufungua kesi Na. 56/2018 kukazia makubaliano yaliyofikiwa.



“Hatua hii inaendelea chini ya amri ya Mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania kwa kufuata utaratibu na sheria,” inasema sehemu ya taarifa ya benki hiyo.



Mkono alizaliwa Agosti 18, 1943 katika Kijiji cha Busegwe, Kata ya Busegwe, Wilaya ya Butiama mkoani Mara.



Mkono ni miongoni mwa matajiri wachache nchini waliojitoa kwa hali na mali kusaidia maendeleo ya kijamii.



Katika Jimbo la Musoma Vijijini na baadaye Butiama, Mkono amejenga shule za msingi na sekondari nyingi. Baadhi ya shule hizo ni Chifu Ihunyo, Chifu Wazangi, Oswald Mang’ombe, Shule ya Sekondari Butuguri na Shule ya Sekondari Kasoma.



Shule zote hizi zimegharimu mabilioni ya shilingi. Shule mbili – Oswald Mang’ombe na Busegwe aliikabidhi serikali. Chifu Wanzagi inaendeshwa na madhehebu ya dini.



Jimbo la Musoma Vijijini lililokuwa na kata 36 na vijiji 119, hakuna sehemu ambayo haikupata kufikiwa na Mkono kimaendeleo.



Pamoja na shule, Mkono amechimba visima vingi katika vijiji vingi. Amejenga vyumba vya madarasa na maabara, amefungua barabara zote za enzi ya utawala wa wakoloni na mpya, amejenga mabweni katika shule nyingi kuanzia Busekela (magharibi) hadi Kyagata na Sirori Simba (mashariki). Amejenga zahanati, vituo vya afya, wodi, vituo vya polisi na majengo ya utawala sehemu nyingi.



Pia amejenga na kukarabati mabwawa na ameshirikiana na serikali kufanikisha kuanzishwa kwa Chuo Kikuu cha Kilimo cha Mwalimu Nyerere. Majengo ya Sekondari ya Oswald Mang’ombe yamekubaliwa yatumike kuanzisha chuo hicho.



Msiba umegubikwa na mambo mengi ya kifamilia, watu wanafinyana, tuwaombee!

Mkuu nahitaji maoni yako katika hili.
Unafikiri suala la:
1. Sarafu moja.
2. Uongozi mmoja wa kisiasa EAC(federation)

Nikimaanisha sote Afrika Mashariki tukubali kuachia sovereignty zetu na kuwa nchi mmoja kuongozwa na raisi mmoja.
Linawezekana kwa jinsi tunavyokwenda ndani ya miaka hii 15 ijayo?

Double standard na wanaharakati uchwara hawasemi, kipi bora kati ya Magu aliekua akiwasaidia watu wa chini huko barabarani (walimkosoa mno) au huyu anaetoa kila siku mabilioni kwa watu wenye pesa ndefu tayari!
