China-Africa Co-operation: News and Discussions

How can that bridge cost 12 million USD? Its a small bridge.

How chinese bribe the rulers and fleece the poor nations is amazing. Not only that, these nations are left a pair of red pompoms for cheerleading.

I was thinking same it's not even 100 meter.

i guess 7 million goes to chinese and 5 to kenyan politicians

No,you are wrong,then how that structure was built which has fallen down?

May be 6 for chinese contractors,5.5 for politicians and 0.5 for bridge.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

i am sure it will be part of overall some highway construction costing total of $12 million . But if the news is taken on face value it is a day light robbery hand gloved with corruption by the local leaders to rob the national exchange.

 

[gslv mk3]

$12 million for such a small bridge ?

 

[SorryNotSorry]

This made me LOL.
The cost of construction should not be so high- considering this is in Kenya,and built with Chinese expertise.
Was this built with the OBOR like loan schemes?

$12 billion for such a small bridge ?

its million bro

 

[Dungeness]

$12 million cost is for 100 meter bridge and 3 KM ramps. The investigation is underway. It is an embarrassing moment for Chinese construction company.

 

[gslv mk3]

its million bro

typo... Still 72 crore is too much dont you think ?

 

[AnnoyingOrange]

my god look at the size of the bridge!! it costs 12 Million USD

4 Million to feed local Politicians.. 4 Million for Chinese profiteering and 4 million for the bridge...

 

[Kapwercs]

Chinese suppose to do things at low cost..Politicians were involved & both sides have eaten a big chunk..
Then nothing left to spend on bridge..That's why it collapsed.

Its not only money or corruption for failures.
Every construction company has different levels of expertise in it.
Suppose a C grade team was sent for this project , the result would be same.

I was thinking same it's not even 100 meter.

cooked up news, this type of bridge could be cost no more than 200000USD.

Indians and their mantle masturbation at level 99%.

 

[SorryNotSorry]

typo... Still 72 crore is too much dont you think ?

yes $12 mil is too much

 

[kris]

This is not called for. Something like this happens in many countries, including India not too long ago.

Political (ruling) parties will be eaten alive if any such thing happens here.
Still an embarrassing moment for China as it's an overseas project.
