Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How did a $12 million bridge collapse in Kenya
Phew! Unfortunate but fortunate. A landmark bridge in Kenya that had been under construction collapsed just before completion and a presidential election. If the bridge collapsed after completion, there would be quite a few casualties and damages to the passersby of the bridge.
Kenya is one of the African countries that are heavily depending on China’s financing, engineering and constructing forces to build new infrastructures, such as roads, bridges and tunnels, railways and stations, and ports and building constructions. Their generous and economical proposals have allured interest of political leaders of developing African countries who are looking for ways and funds for an economic leap. And China has been working on such projects for a while.
But if one nearly-completed bridge collapses like this, what about quality and reliability of other on-going and already-completed construction works?
Read the article and think if this incident has caused any significant damage to the president’s election campaign in Kenya.
