Kwa umeme huu wa kuunga unga unataka tulale maporini
Hayo maswali waulize Ukawa maana mwakani ndio wanatoa Rais, achana na Lowasa kwanza ni mgonjwa
[h=2]New network[edit][/h]In January 2010, it was announced that the Ethiopian government had signed a memorandum of understanding with four companies to build a new rail network. Among these firms was the China Communications Construction, China Railway Group, and an Indian and Russian company.[SUP][14][/SUP] After all parties except the Chinese firms failed to take further action, the contract was awarded to the CRCG. In August, funding for the project was agreed to come from the Export and Import Bank of China. In September 2010, construction began on the project.
The network will be 5,000 km long, and radiate from Addis Ababa. It will be constructed in two phases, the first phase involving the construction of five lines.[SUP][15][/SUP] The project will provide 300,000 jobs in construction and cost $336 million annually for five years. The system will handle 6 million tonnes of freight. The government of India has given US$300m for the Mekelle-Djibouti rail line.[SUP][16][/SUP]
The gauge of the new railway will be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 [SUP]1[/SUP]⁄[SUB]2[/SUB] in), which is standard gauge, as there is no point in increasing the size of the network fourfold on an obsolete gauge. There are also standard gauge proposed changes in adjacent countries, besides connecting with this gauge in northern Africa, the Middle East, Europe and China, among other areas.
Also included was a light rail system in Addis Ababa.
My take:
Tunashindwa vipi 336 x 5 =1,680 usd mil rate za leo za dola hii ni 2.9 tril kwa miaka 5, tunashindwa vipi hii hela? kama tuliweza kutoa 1.5 tril kama stimulus kwenye pamba kw wahindi na makampuni feki ya kina Kigwangala?
Mmeishiwa na hoja? Mlizungumza ufisadi leo imewashinda. Mnataka kuja na hoja nyingine ya ugonjwa kama waliomzushia Kibaki ambaye amemaliza miaka yake kumi salama tena kwa kishindo. Kufa mtu yeyote anaweza kufa. Hata wewe inawezekana ukatangulia kabla ya hao unaowambea kifo.
Leo naona umewakana watu wa kundi lako. Kwa nini iwe hivyo?
