how many kms is it?
Scenes from a chinese movie with English subtitles
Hata new police uniform itatengenezewa tu shaina
We are becoming a real colony.
Was the occasion for the benefit of Kenyans or the Chinese TV audience back home.
Man, this is just sad.
No single high ranking government official sees any problem with this?
Wacha kelele…Kama ingekuwa French na rusungu am sure hungeona shida yeyote…
Finally, tano terror, lube iko kwa wingi…
French I would oppose vehemently.
We willingly chose rusungu as a national language.
Since when did Mandarin acquire that status and it was passed by who, where and how?
Stop arguing for the sake of it?
Piga saluti na useme Tano terror 
Hong Ngong
:D:D:D shida iko wapi? si imeandikwa english na chinese? meaning it was for the two audiences. Wachinku hawaelewi ngoso na sisi hatuelewei mandarin, what better way than to put the writings in English and Mandarin ndio Chinese back home waelewe what’s going on here.
4.5kms. Rumour has it the owner of the land under which it passes in Kibiko(an old-school maasai) did not want anything to do with SGR on his land.
Sijakuelewa. So, now that he did not want anything to do with SGR, what happened then?
While most people in kenya would rather have the SGR pass on/near their land for land speculation. The guy refused all offers presented to his by the Chinese to access part of his land. He even refused another very lucrative deal (running into the hundreds of millions). The Chinese wanted to rent a parcel of his land use it as a yard/site and for housing workers. After completion, of that phase of the SGR, the Chinese would hand him back + all the property they built there. Pia hiyo alikataa. Maasai’s are wierd but the guy refused alot of money… So instead of trying to find a route around the owner’s land they opted to go under.
Hapo umedanganya, lakini ni Sawa Tu. Kwani unadhani if the route was really crucial for the line to pass through his land gava haingemtoa by force? Hakuna kitu ndauwo angefanya kama that was the proposed route, otherwise kuchimba shimo was an obvious reason ya avoiding milima na mabonde…
As I said it’s a rumour. But forceful eviction cannot happen on the SGR because there was nothing like SGR reserves. Also, he does not own all the land on the 4.5km stretch but a substantial part is his. What pissed alot of people further along the route was that they expected the SGR to pass near or on their land so that they could get compensation money / hike land prices. (I know of somewhere in Kibiko area where an 1/8 acre plots shot up from 400k to past 1.2mil in months).
Apparently the ndauwo alifanya pia hao warukwe… But, they were all forced to sign agreements (including the ndauwo) on how to utilise the land on top of the tunnel. Idk if they got any money. Again ni hekaya nilipewa last year when the SGR contractors were planning the route. Kenya railways had nothing to do with planning the route /compensations. It was all chinku business.
Not a single Kenyan flag visible!
Sad!
hiyo tunnel naskia utakua inatokea Ngongzhou
hii inakaa fiction, the tunnel was in the plans since the route was drawn.
there’s something called compulsory acquisition, and government pays you equivalent to your land value na unaenda.
