It therefore makes sense to improve our hub infrastructure as much as possible so as to consolidate and expand this gateway status. The concept of trying to get much of that transport back onto railway wagons makes sense. First, we must make the Mombasa-Syokimau route really work in the truest commercial sense and make it as attractive as possible for cargo transport. We must complete the second leg to Naivasha as soon as possible and with a less abrasive approach to the inhabitants of the relevant areas affected. Naivasha must be turned into a transport hub so road hauliers could pick up and transport cargo to the relevant country and regional destinations and vice-versa.
