I look for that time where I will be able to transport my 40 ft empty container from Mombasa to Nairobi and pay only 5K instead of the colossal amount charged by akina Bayusuff and Sons!

Kata hema boys will also be rendered jobless and this may lead to an increase in prices of commodities along the A104 highway.

accidents and some long queues along the road will decrease so fewer deaths. etc

Why spend 6 hours by bus while you can use the train for 4.5 hours and will be a safer bet with a better view.

They should build stations in all the major towns..

Its a game charger in almost all aspects..

I pray they can pull this off.

My biggest worry is getting the wayleaves as I understand that the new rail will not replace the current line. If the wayleave hustle at Cabanas and Bomas is anything to go by, we are in for a long wait.

with the 1.5% RDL for all imports they should be able to buy out wayleaves easy.

@ZZE and GG what you dot com generation may not the entire rail from Mombasa to kampala to Pakwach has a natural way leave of 25m on either side. Occassionally that has been expropriated to construct roads. There should be no problem. That is why in Kibera they are funding a relocation because of the hullabaloo it would raise chasing away wananchi from the railwayleave.

I hope the passenger engine is better looking than the freight one.

@mawinder;The numerous people employed in the trucking industry will be employed in the railway and support services.
Lots of employment opportunities will be created so no fear or worry

The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.
