The projections for 2016 are largely positive, which is welcome news for a country that faced headwinds for the better part of 2015. Analysts expect the economy to grow at over 5 per cent this year on the back of on-going infrastructure projects.
Prominent among these projects is the standard gauge railway (SGR). The Sh350 billion high-capacity railway line is the largest project in Kenya in half a century, and is supposed to run from the port city of Mombasa to the border town of Malaba.
