Chinese build Nairobi roads likely to fail in less than 15 years

Closely looking at both Thika road and Outering road under construction. The standard work isn’t commensurate with the hype, euphoria, and grand money allocated.

Most of such major roads should last at least two decades or more with superficial maintenance. I however doubt if those will last that long.

when I get an expert opinion I will listen…otherwise let see Chelsea game

For 50 years, the Brits, Italians, Germans and other opportunists built us expensive World-bank/IMF dustings of roads that barely lasted one rainy season. 15 years would not be a bad bargain at all!!:D:D:D:D

Why do you think they won’t last long?

That would still be a bargain. Others start falling apart before they are even finished (Muthurwa market). Still, others are under construction in perpetuity (Landhies road).

Just to be clear on Thika road. It’s was fully funded by Africa Development Fund, build by two Chinese companies, ERC designed by an Indian company.

The rest is porojo

Three.

the rate of wear and tear depends on the viewer’s political alignment. Mombasa road done by German company is registering more wear and tear within a period of 10 years.

Hapa ma sweep tu…@vanadium unataka kirinyaga constructions ama?

RCC registered in Nigeria. A sister company of SBI. They are very slow, Modern day cowboy’s.

Will you be there in the next 15 years?
Will the phrase “Raila wìrù nefa be president” still be trending?

These are the questions you should be asking yourself.
