A number of sleepy rural towns in Rift Valley and western Kenya are set for economic uplift as the State moves to build a 263.7-kilometre standard gauge railway (SGR) from Naivasha to Kisumu and develop commercial and logistics hubs along the route.
The proposed SGR Phase 2B project, to be overseen by Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC), will traverse Narok, Bomet, Kericho, Nyamira, and Kisumu counties, opening up a transport corridor that could redefine trade, industrial activity, and urban growth in the region.
