I didn't know Manduku is such a bright guy, he will be a great asset to the parliamentary committee on Transport

[@khalidbamraha351]

An articulate and brilliant mind. We need people like him in government. Thoroughly educative and eye opener interview.

[@musoma4278]

Great mind wasted because of political interference.

[@momach-san5771]

Hon. Dr. Manduku is very smart, knowledgeable and articulate individual This interview is was very informative. I wish such people would be given space in our country to employ their skills to move this country forward to greater level’s

Your life has been lacking enlightenment if this is the best and are easily bamboozled. There's nothing that manduku had said that is really rocket science. Very underwhelming.

In a group I'm in they were discussing a former MD of a parastatal and this is what two knowledgeable people on that situation; -"yule anayesifiwa sana, mngejiuliza aliipata vipi kazi ya MD hapo parastatal kama yeye si mmoja wao. Yeye pia alichangia wizi wa mali ya umma kwa njia moja au nyingine kupitia kandarasi za kutiliwa shaka alizotoa. -"Yeah was going to say John Doe isn't one to speak.....corruption/cartel manenos.

one of the best interviews after the one that had lukoye...seeing and listening to manduku for the first time left me with the distinct feeling there should be need for KK to reach across the aisles and tap him for insights and advice if at all they are genuine about growing the blue economy.. man is concise ,brilliant and knowledgeable..really enjoyed his insights.. he should be a regular..kudos to spice team

Listening to this brilliant gentleman, I feel it's such a waste for him to end up as an MP of some Constituency. What a wasted national asset!!!

[@hajiadmani2032]

This gentleman is needed up there in the group of technocrats in the running of the government. Not sitting in the parliament. Talent wasting away!!

Well done Dr Manduku for that very informative interview; please use the stamina and brilliance in you to develop Nyaribari Masaba Constituency. May the Almighty God bless your vision for the people of your Constituency.

[@waffbaff]

From the discussions about the port saga, I think the elephant in the room is the commitment we as a country undertook to build the SGR and the secretive agreement we had with China's exim bank. This inturn sacked in KPA, Kenya Railways, Road Transporters, and the clearing and forwarding industry. Just like in the education sector a task force should be engaged to review the relocation of port operations given the obligations we have committed to paying for the SGR as a country. This is a delicate balancing act lest we find ourselves in a big mess. Great discussion by the panelists.

[@perojemoi8643]

My good God, Dan, you're wonderful. And you were removed to pave way for the greedy .I love your explanation and now I you've won my trust. It is not the end for such brilliant head, we gave you a job now do it back home and nationally.

[@claireakum9378]

Very Knowledgeable indeed am impressed hope this knowledge will benefit this Country

[@patrickguga5178]

Pleasant surprise for all of Kenya to see the brilliance of Dr. We can say that he will surely be underutilized in his MP role- a real shame for the bigger wider Kenya. How can we a developing country position this gifted and talented man to exert his wonderful port understanding knowledge for the country and at Government level. For sure we all know there are less than a handful of people in government today coming anywhere close to the articulated natural vision, hands on experience and practical know-how of our brilliant Dr. exudes. Shukrani Dr!

[@daviesbett209]

A quite interactive and informative session. A clear understanding on the optimization of port operations as well as cargo haulage. The government has no choice whatsoever other than welcoming the private sectors on board in order to improve on delivery of essential services. It cannot engage in business AT ALL. The importers should have a competitive playing field where they can choose the affordable and efficient means to move their cargo. The message should be delivered straight to the Office of the President while still hot.

[@sirianna2150]

As per communication from KPA, people will choose the mode of transport. Whether road or rail.

By minute 39:30, it is crystal clear Mr. Daniel Manduku speaks efficiency fluently.

[@owuorunmasked7969]

Key take home Mombasa thrives on inefficiency. The more inefficient the port the better for Mombasa, at least in the short term. Even without SGR, the proposed devolution of ports across the smaller ports will take away money from Mombasa

[@salimali4752]

Key take home SGR forced monopoly of transportation

[@skifalu]

One thing is that the containers must somehow be cleared and stored before next haul to destination. If Naivasha this will still take some days, if cleared in Nairobi still there will be some days. All that was necessary was to increase the capacity in MSA so that these containers would take a shorter period to clear and store temporarily in MSA.

Dr. Manduku has explained the Port, SGR and their impact on the Economy....

[@SammyCharmy]

Hon Manduku is a smart fellow, these are the kind of people who should hold high office in this country. On SGR, make cargo going beyond Nairobi and especially to Uganda, Rwanda, DRC use the SGR. Let the Nairobi bound cargo importers decide what is best for them SGR vs road, that way we have a win win situation.

[@markwechenje9603]

Very insightful can we have numbers in terms of comparison the inefficiencies cost vs efficient

[@pemasatservices9014]

As we consinder on where the port operations should be, should we ignore the regional business from South sudan/ Uganda who are now exploring the Djibuti route as an alternative to port of mombasa? bearing in mind that moving the port to Naivasha the SGR and MGR shortened the time taken to evacuate cargo from Mombasa to Malaba by 62 percent, and costs by 58 percent because What importers consider is cost and efficiency. If the consignment reaches on time at the cheapest cost, that is what they will go for. Dr. manduku has explained soo well but i feel he only adressed the local importers which I totally agree with.

[@geoffreykariuki1484]

What I understand Dr Maduku is telling the people and Kenyans in general is that, if we really on inefficiency to survive, then Tanzania is coming with the is SGR and will go all the to the neighbouring countries. Then they will take all the customers and we are left with local cargo which is insufficient for everyone for survival.

[@FMercuryEA]

Do you know how many visitors to the coast line to our hotels declined the visits when the port services were moved to mai Mahiu or naivasha ? They sent drivers instead. All the Ugandan, DRC, Sudan business owners stopped coming to Kenya to kill two birds with one stone. Tourism and business. Are there serious hotels in mai Mahiu like in Mombasa and coastal areas ? On the matter of SGR being a non performing business entity, why wouldn't the government raise an IPO where all kenyans with money can invest in sgr. With these funds this line can be extended to Central Africa and pay off the Chinese.

[@winniew6742]

The initial plan of SGR was diverted by UhuRuto govt. It's earlier plan was beneficial for the economy of East Africa but wakawa wajanja.
