More than three years ago, on November 28, 2013, President Uhuru Kenyatta presided over the ground-breaking ceremony in Mombasa that ushered in the construction of the modern Standard Gauge Railway line. Today, President Kenyatta will not only launch the train service between Mombasa and Nairobi, he will be among the passengers on that inaugural ride.
