Preserving SGR will sustain benefits to Kenya and region

There is a need for a concerted, national effort to preserve the standard gauge railway (SGR), a valuable national asset that has brought great socio-economic benefits to Kenya.

Conceptualised by Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda as a solution to inefficiencies in the conveyance of goods from the Mombasa port to its hinterland and vice versa, the SGR is the biggest infrastructure project ever in the region.
