President Uhuru says SGR train passengers should not be charged more than Sh700 for economy class tickets on Nairobi-Mombasa route. The tickets were earlier priced at Sh900.
Uhuru has warned economic saboteurs against vandalising SGR.
President Uhuru flagged off the inaugural SGR passenger train dubbed Madaraka Express from Miritini, Mombasa County. He is anticipated to make two priority stops in Voi and Mtito Andei.
During his speech, the President said challenges are to be expected after launching of SGR. He however urged Kenyans to be supportive and embrace constructive criticism.
