Doubts over Kenya, Uganda rail funding as China snubs meet

[Cicero]

Uncertainty hangs over plans to build a cross-border standard gauge railway (SGR) after Beijing failed to respond to a request for a joint meeting with Kenyan and Ugandan officials.

The two states had requested for a meeting in China on February 28, with Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs sending reminders mid last month, but Beijing went mute.

As a condition for funding the Kenya-Uganda SGR, Exim Bank of China requires a joint commitment from the two states that each will extend their line to the Malaba border post.

China’s delay to respond to a request for a joint meeting is likely to interfere with official timeline for the Kisumu-Malaba-Kampala SGR.

Officials from Kenya’s ministries of Finance and Works, and Uganda’s Finance minister Matia Kasaija had been scheduled to travel for a meeting on February 27, but they postponed after China failed to give them a confirmation.

“China has not responded to the request that the joint delegation of Kenya and Uganda made to them in regard to having a meeting with the Exim Bank on February 28,” said a source close to the matter.

Hakuna mtu anayewaombea mabaya. Ila majivuno yenu hayo yanatufanya tuongee sana. Ukiwa unajivuna hakikisha usikosee maana ukikosea tutakucheka sana. Mwisho wa majivuno ni aibu.

Kwenye oil pipeline ilianza hivi hivi, na kwenye SGR ndiyo tayari wenzetu wameshaingia mkenge, Tz si watu wa mchezo mchezo, deal la Uganda ndio limeshadondokea Tz hilo.

Yaani watz bado tu mko hapo. Mnangoja sgr isifaulu huku inaelekea naivasha. You guys are sick. Latest news ni kuwa serikali imeshaanza ku-discuss nauli za abiria na mizigo.
I think you guys are living in some crazy wonderland. Wengine wanangoja Vita vya kikabila Kenya, wengine wenu wanangoja alshabab ishambulie. My goodness. Aren't we big trouble.
Yaani jirani anaendeleza maendeleo yake alafu after 20years your brothers will be trying to enter Kenya illegally.

Huku your sgr conceptualized over 5years ago bado kuanza. Eti sasa mnatafuta Uganda. My friends you need a lot of help. Did you secure your funding from turkey by the way?
And then with your small budget don't even compare with Kenya's sgr. You guys should be looking at the Ethiopians sgr. Hii ya Kenya ni level nyingine.
Tutawatumia picha za sgr ikipita juu juu ya Nairobi national park very soon.
