He also praised the MPs for using SGR to travel to Mombasa for the EALA games instead of using air to travel.
I want to give you more good news, we have agreed with Uganda, Rwanda and DRC that SGR will be extended from Naivasha to Uganda and Rwanda to DRC so that in a few years, they too can use the SGR when they want to come to Mombasa.
The president said.
Works on the Naivasha-Malaba section by our Kenyan counterparts will start very soon. The two countries have agreed on the timelessness of the two projects to ensure the seamless movement of trains from Kampala to Mombasa.
The head of State further said.
