Between the World Bank and China on railways, I’d rather listen to China.
The World Bank says Kenya could have saved up to Sh117 billion in the construction of the Mombasa–Nairobi SGR if it had matched Tanzania’s cost per kilometre.
— Kenya’s SGR cost Sh988 million per km (diesel-powered), compared to Sh741 million per km in Tanzania (electrified) and Sh689 million per km in Ethiopia (electrified).
(At least 30% of the extra cost is linked to governance challenges, including fraud and non-competitive) contracting.

President William Ruto says the government is setting up an Industrialisation Fund.
He says the target of the Industrialisation Fund will be to lend to manufacturers at single digits. He hasn't said how it will be capitalised.
There's also a proposed Green Investment Fund being set up targeting US$200 million (Kes 25.99 billion) in capitalisation (see quoted tweet).

It’s like my house in Nairobi only sees me once in a twilight coz I’m always on flights and on the road.
Only reason it exists is coz Nairobi is like the hub and the go to place when I’m not on the road and need to recharge my batteries lol
F1, F2, F3 looks San Francisco esque.
It is said that Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev once in his visit to the US was inspired by SF and even wanted to make Vladivostok the Soviet SF.
The knowledge of the avg Kenyan wrt public finance is remarkably tenuous.
We see it all over in this app.
