NAIROBI: A financial windfall is wafting over land earmarked for the Standard Gauge Railway line from Mombasa to Nairobi. Property owners are currently receiving compensation for the compulsory acquisition of their land to pave way for the railway line.
The windfall is welcome news for most of those who own land in places earmarked for the railway line. In an era dominated by harsh economic times and declining fortunes, the ability to cash in on a portion of their land is good news.
