The Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) splashed Sh17.08 billion to acquire wagons and vans from China last year as it sought to arrest a slide in freight revenue on delays in cargo transportation due to inadequate capacity.
The KRC was forced to make the biggest investment in a single year since the launch of the standard gauge railway (SGR) freight and passenger services in the financial year 2017-18 to address the loss of cargo business due to the occasional lack of wagons.
