The Government plans to outsource the management of the planned high-speed Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to an international firm.
The decision, according to Solomon Ouna, project manager in-charge of the SGR Development, is informed by the lack of capacity to run high speed modern system by the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC). The multi-billion shilling railway line will be operating between Mombasa and Malaba, with a branch line to Kisumu.
