Kuna mambo mengi yapo chini ya kapeti kuhusu SGR, hata hao yapi merkez sio wema kiivo kama wanavyojiaminisha kwa watu......na nina uhakika kwa intel aliyokuwa anapewa hayati rais magufuli asingewapa tena hawa jamaa kazi.....yapi mwenyewe ni kama dalali tuu anauza kazi kila kukicha....yanayojiri huko site pia ni mtihani tuu, ......Namshauri Rais Mama SSH kupitia taariza za ukaguzi kwa kina kwenye mradi huu hasa upande wa tuta na madaraja,(makalavati) na hata wafanyakazi pia, Mama asikubali kupelekewa tu taarifa akaishia kuziamini afanye ufatiliaji binafsi( personal intel) huenda akajua mengi kuhusu yapi na mradi huu kwa ujumla.....mwisho wa siku kampuni yoyote itakayopewa kazi hapa nchini ni lazima na wao wanatafuta faida....faida inaweza kuja kwa halali ama kwa magumashi....ni wewe msimamizi umejipanga vipi kusimamia.....

THE “RAILPOLITIK" OF SINO-AFRICAN INFRASTRUCTURE COOPERATION:
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KENYAN AND ETHIOPIAN RAILWAYS
WITH CURRENT FELLOW YUAN WANG​


Abstract: Why do Chinese-funded and constructed projects that are similar in nature develop into starkly different trajectories in different African states?

This question sheds light on the varying state capacity of developing countries. Divergent from existing structural explanations that stress the external agency and institutional explanations that emphasise bureaucratic capacity,

I propose a political championship theory to explain variances in developing states’ capacity to deliver functional infrastructure projects. I argue that perceived threats from competitive elections engineer leader’s commitment to developmental project.

When the leader has strong authority, they build a coalition to push for the implementation, leading to high effectiveness. To empirically examine the political championship theory and two competing theories: the external agency and the bureaucratic capacity arguments, I trace the process of two Chinese-funded and -constructed railway projects: the Standard Gauge Railway in Kenya and the Addis-Djibouti Railway in Ethiopia.

I rely on over 180 interviews conducted during field research from 2015-2019 in Kenya, Ethiopia, and China. This research contributes to the theoretical debate on state capacity by emphasizing individual agency within structural and institutional constraints, a previously understudied area in state capacity. The thorough documentation of two Chinese-sponsored projects in Africa also contributes to the understanding of Chinese infrastructure projects in developing countries in general.
