Reply to comment by _scrapegoat_ in Kenyans Switching to Electric Motorbikes (lower emissions, local startups) by humerusbones

Kenya's government is putting a ton of money into startups, and it's done a lot of good for their economy recently. Would love to see other African countries do the same, as there is so much possibility for innovation...African solutions for Africa's problems.

It's actually China who is investing in infrastructure in Kenya.

Basically all road, rail and partially the port is operating on loan from the Chinese government.

'All road' is a bit if a stretch, but the sections of road the Chinese have built certainly were necessary infrastructure upgrades.

That new rail development is quite a mess...really wonder what will become of it.
