i thnk its premature to compare kenya sgr na tz sgr, bado details nyingi hatuzifaham bado, but with time may be things will be a little clearer, anyway here is a little comparison between kenya sgr and ethiopia.
Railways have classes one two and three.Minimum curve radius - Ethiopia: 2000 m; Kenya 1200 m.
Maximum gradient - Ethiopia: 1.0%, Kenya: 1.2%
Passing loop length for single track sections - Ethiopia: 3 km; Kenya: 1.2 km
Maximum distance between passing loops - Ethiopia: 30 km; Kenya: 30 km
Axle load - Ethiopia: 25 tons; Kenya 25 tons
Rails - Ethiopia: 60 kg/m; Kenya 60 kg/m
Length - Ethiopia: 656 km; Kenya 485 km (not including dual track, loop sections, yard tracks, etc)
Dual Track - Ethiopia: 115 km ; Kenya 0 km
Total budget (including Stations, rolling stock,etc) - Ethiopia: $2.8 billion; Kenya: $3.804 billion
Cost per km - Ethiopia: $4.27 million; Kenya: $7.84 million
My one pence observation, land issues in kenya are a big problem in investment
Dhuks n bongo-live evidence that chinese loan financed land compensation!? FYI, no donor pays for land compensation! A reason the high court of Kenya ordered a project to be halted on the grounds some people have not been paid compensation.

I will not feed your ignorance, you can sum it the way you want.Dhuks n bongo-live evidence that chinese loan financed land compensation!? FYI, no donor pays for land compensation!

thats sad if true, anyways a little eye opener that sgr ...earlier this year kenya tea development agency KTDA had a tender out to transport 75000 tonnes of fertilizer. The rate provided was 6.5Kshs/tonne/km (or approximate US 6.5 cents/tonne/km).Dhuks n bongo-live evidence that chinese loan financed land compensation!? FYI, no donor pays for land compensation!

It's called sour grapes.In Kenya financing caters for everything even land compensation. RAP and PAP are always considerations in any project, be either road or rail unless explicitly stated. I think its important to drop your sycophancy and stop berating anything Kenya. You cannot be lambasting Kenya for taking too many loans with the Chinese on one thread and singing praises for getting bigger funding in another
Okay, when you brag that you got more funding than Kenya it leaves me wondering whether these funds are free. You really amaze.when u make a lot on noises on a project, it is our responsibility to do comparison or due analysis on such related ventures!
You are immune to reason many a time. The major transportation arteries in Kenya dissect the rift at very steep sections in Kenya, and the profiles are not extreme in TZ as they are in KE. The railway must also link major population centres by necessity and these happen to lie at strategic positions either side of the rift, sisi hatujengi railway to nowhere, but to link cities. And these inescapable facts necessitates a design heavy on excavation.Quickly rift valley dissect tanzania into four parts btn eastern n western arms n yet the project is cheaper than Kenyan. The same rift valley dissects Ethiopia n yet they pay less! Keep being lied by ur tribalistic politicians.
