The CS expressed her surprise at ‘strange headlines’ regarding the issue and clarified that the SGR extension was never a priority agenda during the President’s visit to China. The relationship between Kenya and China is broader than the SGR. In fact, the SGR extension beyond Naivasha was never a priority agenda for the current mission to Beijing. What is important is to make sure we have connectivity by ensuring that we have a transshipment point in Naivasha from SGR to MGR,” he said. His remarks came after word spread that the government had not secured the Sh38 billion loan for the extension of the SGR from Naivasha to Kisumu.
