So you guys pray for our downfall? mtangoja. Achana na siasa unaona Twitter. Kwa ground mambo ni tofauti. Hii kenya ya sasa kama ulivyo ona 2017 si ile ya kitambo. The market remained relatively stable proving that the private sector and investors trusts our politics have come of age. After 2022 we're are focusing on our SEZs, Konza, Mombasa Gate, dualling Nakuru-Nairobi highway, social services etc. You cannot build flyovers forever. Tutawaachai hiyo.

Tanzania and Rwanda in push to reshape East African logistics

Rwanda and Tanzania individually signed two mega-infrastructure deals in the last week in moves that will undoubtedly reshape the East African region politically and economically. Kenya stands to lose most.

Tanzania signed an agreement to link its new railway line to Burundi and the DRC, while a similar deal with Rwanda is said to be in its final stages.

The transport ministers of the three countries signed the deal in Kigoma, Tanzania, on 3 December.

Three-way funding
The first phase of the joint deal will start in Kigoma and end in Gitega, the capital of Burundi, 240km away. It will then be extended into eastern DRC.
Each country will have to get funding for its own section, Tanzania’s transport minister, Isack Kamwelwe, said at the signing ceremony.
  • The first phase of Tanzania’s Standard Gauge Railway (SRG), covering 202km from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, is almost complete.
  • The second phase will connect Morogoro to the administrative capital of Dodoma, even as the East African country also revamps its old metre-gauge railway to enhance connectivity.
  • When complete, the new railway line will cover 1,457km, connecting Dar and the Lake Victoria port city of Mwanza.
In May 2018, Rwanda and Tanzania agreed to redesign their joint railway plan, which will start at the Isaka dry port and end in Kigali, to use electric powered trains.

In late November, Tanzania’s President John Magufuli said that the two countries are in the final phases of negotiating a deal to build the railway line.
  • The Isaka-Kigali line will cost $2.5bn, with Tanzania paying $1.3bn and Rwanda $1.2bn. Rwanda will then incur additional costs to extend it to Rubavu and Bugesera, where it is constructing its largest international airport.
Kenya’s preeminence under threat
The deals give Tanzania an upper hand in East Africa, as its Central Corridor blueprint will make its commercial capital of Dar es Salaam the primary route to the sea for the region’s landlocked nations.
It also shows the far-reaching effects of the collapse of the ‘coalition of the willing’, a loose grouping of three East African countries – Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda – that had agreed in 2013 to construct mega-infrastructure deals together.
  • The coalition collapsed as diplomatic relations between Uganda and Rwanda worsened, and Tanzania’s new president, John Magufuli, worked to rebuild economic relations with the country’s neighbours.
Uganda is Kenya’s trade route to Rwanda and eastern DRC, and the frosty relations between the two, which saw border closures, affected trade in the region.

The biggest beneficiary has been Tanzania, which shares direct borders with Rwanda, Burundi, the DRC, and Uganda.

Uganda chose the Tanzania route to the sea, abandoning the plan to build an oil pipeline jointly with Kenya. It cited, among other reasons, the costs of land compensation in Kenya.

Rwanda also pulled out of the railway line plan because, as its then finance minister, Claver Gatete (now minister of infrastructure), said: “The Kenyan route would be expensive and time consuming.”
Rwanda has also inaugurated an $80m inland port, built by Emirati DP World, 20km from the capital, Kigali.

Meanwhile, Rwanda announced that it had signed a deal with Qatar Airways,which will see the Gulf airline take up 60% of the redesigned Bugesera International Airport project.
  • It is still unclear what will happen to the preceding deal with Mota-Engil of Portugal, which began works on the airport two years ago with a concession to run it for 25 years – and an option to extend by another 15 years.
Before the redesign, the project cost was $800m and a capacity of 4.5 million passengers, with the first phase due to be complete by early 2020.
  • Mota-Engil had injected $418m into the first phase by March, when media reports indicated the company could be pulling out due to contractual issues.
  • Mota-Engil’s likely pullout will make it the second company to withdraw from the project, after a Chinese state construction firm in 2013.
In addition promising the greenest airport on the continent, Rwanda now plans for Bugesera to be one of the largest airports in the region.

In the redesign the first phase, valued at $1.3bn, will accommodate seven million passengers, while the second phase, which will start by 2032, will increase the capacity to 14 million, the Rwanda Development Board said in a series of tweets on 9 December.



As East Africa begins a new decade, Kenya’s dwindling position as East Africa’s trade hub will face even more competition from Tanzania and Rwanda.

Bottom line:
While Tanzania is working to make its corridor the natural route to the landlocked countries, Rwanda has been working to centre itself as a conference and events hub. The new deals bring them closer to this future, even as they iron out their financing models.

With Tanzania now appearing most likely to link Central and East African markets to the coast, Kenya looks like it may both lose business and be stranded with an expensive and disconnected railway. It also shows the far-reaching effects of the collapse of the ‘coalition of the willing’.

Ikifika kwa geopolitics, it's too early to celebrate. Best thing is just to wait until the last kilometer is laid. Also, keep in mind that landlocked countries will always spread their risk when it comes to logistics. It'll be fatal if they solely rely on the central corridor. A country like Ethiopia is using the ports of three different countries.
 
Succesful pool games for the Shujaaz at Cape Town 7s. Onto the quarters now.

Ethiopia scenario can be compared to Uganda but not to Rwanda, Burundi n DRC! The distance is too long n Kenya messed up her chances by choosing to build costly n outdated SGR!

I agree. We could've upgraded the old MGR to avoid land compensations. But could we have anticipated the issues between UG and Rwanda? you guys have the geographic advantage. However, on DRC, you will have to handle some more politics just the same way we have to deal with UG before entering DRC or Rwanda. Either way, our logistics business with those countries remains neglegible and it has been declining. Those landlocked countries have been preferring your route. Again, if it were as easy as building a rail and expecting countries to use it, UG could've already secured a loan to do their part and our phase 2 even if the cost of the railway tripled. There are clearly some legacy issues which even the generous Chinese cannot risk.
