THE IMPACT OF SGR TO THE MOMBASA ECONONY

 The standard gauge railway is a facility that was created to enhance transport in the country and boost its economic growth. It is the largest transport infrastructure project in the country, having phase 1 extending from Mombasa to Nairobi with a full operation of 14freight and 4 passengers train.

This has led to positive impact of the standard gauge railway to Mombasa economy.

Job creation tops the list. Both directly and indirectly, job opportunities have been created. Individuals have been employed in the construction, while the need for goods and services by the standard gauge railway has aroused entrepreneurship opportunities around Mombasa.

The other positive impact is improved tourism opportunity. As you well know tourism is a major contribution to the growth of Mombasa economy, and since coast region is the most popular destination for tourist, challenges associated with road travelling have been reduced.

However recent study shows that the government has lost more than ksh 126 billion in revenue in one year from Mombasa county hence it has its own negative impact too.

    The government established the SGR without a prior assessment of the repercussions it would have on the emerging economical traits.

THE TRANSITION

Hey loves🤗 I will start by accepting the fact that I am the president of a lazy town because it took me this long to write something on my blog.And in the spirit  of trying to keep things light because of everything that is going on in the world ,I've decided to write something about growing up and becoming an adult. You ever have been randomly doing something and out of nowhere you burst into tears.You don't know what it is but you feel like you are missing it desperately, and you also feel a lot more lonely than you let people think you are.I don't know about you all but to me this what my twenties feel like.PS: You can share your experiences too in the comments . I would say I miss me when I was small😥when all I would think of was eating ,drinking and doing my homework earlier so I would spare more time to play.Right now my mind is corrupted,I have bills to pay,hearts that I have broken,dreams to fulfill ,mess that I make and just but a few to mention.

MY JOURNEY WITH MY DEAF SISTER.

At first we didn't notice that she was deaf until she is two years old. After my parents realized this, they knocked every specialist door, talked to doctors, but all was in vain. To some of our neighbors, It was a "curse " as they termed it. I would not deny it, the world of disability is a lonely one, filled with tears ,pain and dashed hopes and many were the times I would ask myself how different life would be if she could hear. It is to my parents that I am forever grateful. For staying with her, nurturing her and sacrificing so much for her.Its hard to use sign language while you've nev...
