The second section of a China-funded railway connecting Kenya’s capital Nairobi to Naivasha, a town in the Central Rift Valley, opened on October 16, 2019.Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was on board for the maiden journey, used the opportunity to reject criticism that the infrastructure project is a white elephant.Critics say the project known as the Standard Gauge Railway will be unable to generate enough revenue from cargo services to cover its cost.

The next step, Kenyan engineers must learn how to do it by themselves, so they can create jobs for young Kenyans and Africans. The more you produce, the more you can print money without risk of inflation. It's a simple mathematical equation: just multiply what you have done by repeating it many times.

Shawn Li not sure which is worse. China’s loans are not 1.5billion in cold hard cash, the infrastructure could be valued at cost of 1.5billion (construction, inventory, etc). But often, the construction is done by Chinese companies who bring in their own Chinese workers and supply of materials are from China, etc. local companies or economy gets a small portion of this revenue. Much of the 1.5billion doesn’t cycle within the borrowing nation’s economy. I m not sure what is the agreed interest rate with China for these nations. So cannot say if IMF Interest or China’s interest rate is worse. In the end, when nation is unable to payback, is austerity worse or losing part of your nation’s sovereignty worse? That depends on individuals opinion I guess.

Current Chinese mainland isn't really communist, they're capitalism in practice. That said, they now are full on economics, and besides improving their own ability about business (which already huge because of huge masses of people and resources), they need "broader" trading partners, which in this cases, those who didn't much capped by the western economics power. Improving their economy would improving china mainland economy at the end too, thus raising their power of influence as the current western power do (there's so much video about this). Different than Soviet communism, chinese communism is a practice of government handles all control of power while giving it's citizens freedom of work for themselves, which on my opinion is much efficient than the current western power are doing.

And it's still benefiting Sri Lanka in the long term. The western suppressed truth is that SL debt has nothing to do with the port. Instead the leasing of the port to the Chinese company has allowed some relief for the overall SL debts to the IMF and the WB. The other lie perpetuated by the West is that the port is now "owned" by the Chinese company. It is being "leased" to it. But the gullible are blinded by such manipulation of languages used to portray anything China and Chinese.

I mean the Kenya governers should be smart enough - probably smarter than those commenters - to make decisions themselves based on their need last but not least…what is your business of criticizing the domestic decisions of the government of another nation? arrogant and ignorant is so true

I still remember a decade or two ago we mostly saw famine and poverty in Africa on TV, and the west was asked to help, to donate or raise money for some Christian charity but really, how can a country be established or strengthened through charities? China's business and infrastructure investment is building partnerships (and not this top down sympathetic charities and donations) and actually building long-term services to lift living standards and facilitate economy growth. This is way more substantial.

I believe, the term is not just "infrastructure" but "strategic infrastructure". That is what you need to attract investors in any country. If the infrastructure has nothing to do with the investors business, then it's useless. Just another loan granted and to be paid by the citizens.

First and foremost it is the discretion of the country in which the facility is being built who decide on its viability. The BRI just facilitates them. The truth about "strategic infrastructure" has been the euphemism of the western colonial masters to built infrastructures purely to exploit and extract natural resources from their colonies. After hundreds of years of colonial exploitations, you should know why these countries are so underdeveloped in their infrastructures.

@@stephenlock7236 That is indeed interesting. Anyway, this is just my point of view, that in anything that we do, we should be strategic. Not because money is flowing, we can simply pour money on anything without proper studies. I still believe on doing research and analysis first before making huge expenses.

Preservation of the terrain probably. That or end to end, the elevations are higher than the lowland. Perhaps the terrain is simply less suitable for a train system at ground level. Also flooding can occur and that will greatly disrupt travel on the rail network. Like causing damage to the rails, delaying or even shutting down the trains. Worse case scenario is people getting caught in flooded land and rescues need to be conducted, people injured or killed and the train sustaining heavy damage.
