NOT ABANDONEDHis sentiments were echoed by Mr Macharia who insisted that the government has not abandoned the construction of the SGR line to Kisumu. The CS said the development initiatives being rolled out in the region are key to ensuring the SGR line is busy once it reaches Kisumu. What we are doing is rehabilitating the meter gauge railway line from Naivasha to Malaba to ferry goods to Uganda,” he said. Mr Macharia said the rehabilitation of 120-year-old Naivasha-Malaba metre gauge railway will yield profits which will finance the Kisumu SGR project. “But this does not mean that we will not construct the Kisumu SGR as earlier planned,” added the CS.
