Naivasha–Malaba Rail Project Kicks Off

Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan launched a nine-week feasibility study for the Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba railway extension, aiming to expand the Standard Gauge Railway to the South Sudan border. Transport CS Davis Chirchir said the project will ease cargo transport and cut logistics costs across the region. Uganda’s Fred Byamukama added that shifting freight from roads to rail will reduce congestion, boost trade, and strengthen East Africa’s economic integration.
