Some sections along the railway line have also flooded adversely hampering the extension of the railway line from Nairobi to Olkaria Naivasha. Zao said that the company had safety coordinators stationed across sections of the ongoing railway line to ensure that the workers adhered to safety rules. “The safety of our workers within sections offices is of paramount importance and all of them are issued with safety gears once they report for duty. In the last couple of months, the workers have gone on strike on several occasions demanding better wages and improved working conditions.
