But is it true that international standard cost for building a kilometre of railway is Kshs.170M while the chinese are quotating over Kshs.500Million per kilometre?

If the project goes through,it will mean death to the trucking companies.

Talk about bad timing the owner of buzeki has just sold molo milk to brookside to concentrate on his trucking business infact he intends to double the number of trucks

So will this be a separate railway line from the current one?

How is Transcentury reacting to the news? RVR will come under immense pressure once this Railway is done. People will prefer to use the new Railway than the slow RVR line.

Just to make things clear....Kenya Railways will own the track (the railway itself) and private investors will own the rolling stock(the trains).

It is all business. RVR has an upper hand.
