State to relocate ten schools demolished to pave way for Standard Gauge Railway

The Government has launched a programme to permanently relocate 10 public schools that were demolished to pave way for the Sh327 billion Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).

Kenya Railway Corporation (KR) yesterday announced plans to construct permanent buildings for six schools in Kwale, three in Makueni and one in Kajiado in what is expected to end three years of anxiety among residents. Pupils and students in the affected institutions have been learning in temporary structures put up in the new locations by the SGR contractor,China Roads and Bridges Corporation amid apprehension by local communities.
