Ahead of time ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ vision 2030 , bado mko kwenye feasibility study, ndo maana tunawaambia nyinyi mmezoea ujinga tu, by that time mnamaliza hiyo project tutakuwa na almost 10,000 km of sgr network in tz
Just to remind u, last time in 2018 the cost for electrification Mombasa-Nairobi was $240 mln, KETRACO signed the deal n GoK couldn't raise the funds!

The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) has signed a $240m contract with China Electric Power Equipment and Technology Company (CET) for the electrification of the SGR rail line.
The SGR rail line connects the cities of Mombasa and Nairobi and is currently operated by diesel-powered locomotives.
A total of 14 substations will be built between the two cities as part of the project, which will enable the SGR rail line to operate using clean power to reduce carbon emissions.
"A total of 14 substations will be built between the two cities as part of the project, which will enable the SGR rail line to operate using clean power."
The initiative is also expected to facilitate the development of industries, factories and businesses along the Mombasa-Nairobi economic belt.
The SGR railway’s design will also allow the addition of a single electric line that is planned to be connected to KETRACO’s 482km-long, 400kV Mombasa-Nairobi Transmission Line (MNTL), which has a transfer capacity of 1,500MW.
It was primarily built to address challenges derived from the low voltages, high transmission losses and unreliable power supply of Kenya’s national grid system.
The electrification of the Mombasa-Nairobi rail line is expected to be completed in 28 months.
Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta originally highlighted the introduction and management of low-carbon, efficient transportation systems in the country during an address at the Conference of Parties (COP21) Global Climate Summit in Paris in 2015.
The new electrification project is expected to help Kenya transition from a high to a low carbon transport sector.
A joint report released by International Union of Railways and Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies previously noted that travelling by rail is on average three to ten times less CO2 intensive than road or air transportation options.

N now hat hit $1 bln, over 4 times the original cost!
MY TAKE
That's a tall order na sisi Waswahili husema Kupanga ni kuchagua! Uganda is taking Kenya for a ride!
Atleast tuna kandarasi wako site wanajenga na functional line in total ziko 722km
From dar- morogoro line in total 300km
Morogoro makutupora 422km
Yarpi market yupo site from makutupora to isaka almost 500km
Crrc yupo site isaka to mwaka 300+ km na tabora kigoma 500+ km
Haya tuambie mkandarasi gani yupo kutoka naivasha kwenda malaba?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Au tuoneshe hata kifusi kimoja hapo katikati ya malaba na naivasha
Tanzania imeanza akujenga 2019 imejenga more than 722km na site nyingine kama mwanza isaka kuna tracks tayari.
Kenya imeanza ujenzi 2014 mpaka leo Ina 595 km na hakuna contractor site nani kashindwa.

Wanahitaji 1bil usd kwa ajili ya electrification baada ya kukosa 240mil usd 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Na bado hata hiyo hela ya kujenga kwenda malaba watashindwa tu

Nawaangalia tu na ninavyomjua Museveni... he can diplomatically push the buttons in good faith!
Mind u $1 bln for electrification Mombasa-Nairobi-Naiasha then $5 bln Naivasha-Kisumu-Malaba SGR! Hapo bado cost of electric locomotives haijawa factored!

Kwa rate ya sasa wanahitaji 5.4bil usd kujenga km 370 bila umeme versus 2.2bil usd ya tz kujenga 400+km na umeme juu.
Hii hawajengi , mpaka sasa hakuna mtu site na walisema itaisha kabla ya 2029
View: https://youtu.be/1kA_LOjhHPo?si=8Wzi3Ksojjyh5aoN
Hii ni mwanza ,km 1200 from dar na ujenzi imefikia hapa vipi Kisumu kuna contractor gani site
Huku kigoma halafu mtu ya kibera unasema ujenzi imesimama🤣🤣🤣
Mwambie viwanja vya dizaini hii tumewaachia halmashauri na manispaa , serikali kuu inajenga flagship kama arusha,fumba na Dodoma.
Halafu Toka waanze kusema wanajenga viwanja ishakuwa miaka zaid ya 10 ila viwanja haviishi
