When the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) started construction of this expressway, the first of its kind in Uganda Cheap Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Mens , Sengo had no skills at all.
"I knew nothing about steel works. My Chinese supervisor used to tell me to work so hard so that when he leaves, I will remain with the skills to continue working," Sengo told Xinhua at the road site about 20 km south of Kampala.
Like Sengo, Moses Otem is another Ugandan who is keen on learning from the Chinese road engineers.
"I was employed as a plumber but in the due process Cheap Nike Air Vapormax 2018 , I have learnt how to make culverts. I am sure I will learn how to make bridges," he said.
A distance from the construction site, a group of about 25 Ugandans are working with Chinese road construction laboratory experts to tests soil samples and other ingredients that would be used.
On several road and hydro power dam construction projects elsewhere in the east African country, Chinese engineers are seen working alongside their Ugandan counterparts transferring skills and knowledge which the Ugandans will use elsewhere when the current projects end.
Ouyang Daobin cheap nike vapormax shoes , Economic Counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Uganda told Xinhua that vocational training and skills transfer were critical in the development of China into the world's manufacturing hub.

China has already announced that it is going to construct a 35 million U.S. dollar vocational training institute at Namanve Industrial Park about 20 km east of the capital Kampala.
Every year, according to the Chinese embassy figures, China provides scholarships to 300 Ugandans to go to China for short term vocational training. These scholarships are in addition to the 100 scholarships given to Ugandans to go to China for long-term training.
Construction project managers argue that skills development in Uganda is critical because it will reduce on project time and expenditure. Importing expertise would increase the project costs in terms flight costs and salaries.
Zhang Weidong General Manager of CCCC said that at the start of the construction of the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway, the company had to fly in Chinese engineers and foremen because there were few local people who understood the Chinese standards.
"Fortunately nike vapormax shoes sale , now most of the local laborers have the skills and experience to work on the site," he said.
The Ugandan government in June this year approved the borrowing of 100 million U.S. dollars from the World Bank to boost skills development. The money will partly be used to improve labor skills to ensure relevance with market needs.
WASHINGTON, July 21 (Xinhua) -- The Pentagon said on Friday that the United States was withholding 50 million U.S. dollars in payment to Pakistan due to Islamabad's insufficient counterterrorism action.
"The funds could not be released to the government of Pakistan at this time because the Secretary (of Defense Jim Mattis) could not certify that Pakistan has taken sufficient action against the Haqqani Network per the requirement in the FY 2016 National Defense Authorization Act," said the Pentagon in a statement nike vapormax shoes , referring to a branch of the Afghan Taliban.
The funds being withheld is part of a Pentagon program called Coalition Support Fund, which aims to reimburse U.S. allies and partners for their counterterrorism operations.
In the Fiscal Year 2016, 900 million dollars were marked for Pakistan, among which 550 million dollars had already been reimbursed.
However Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Men's White Black , before withholding of 50 million dollars announced on Friday, Mattis' predecessor Ash Carter decided last year to withhold another 300 million dollars of the funding.
The announcement also came days after the U.S. State Department in a report on global terrorism accused Pakistan of not taking "substantial action" against the Afghan Taliban or Haqqani.
The United States in 2012 designated the Haqqani Network as a terrorist organization.
Pakistan argued that it had done a great deal to help Americans in tracking down terrorists, saying that it had suffered hundreds of deaths in Islamist militant attacks in response to its crackdowns, Reuters reported.
"It may be noted that the funds in question are a reimbursement of the expenses incurred by Pakistan towards achieving our common objectives in the fight against terrorism Cheap Men's Supreme Nike Air Max 98 Triple Black Shoes Sale , and not an assistance," Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, said in a statement.
