Two more men were on Tuesday charged with vandalising a section of the Sh327 billion standard gauge railway.

11 others, including scrap metal dealers, had earlier been charged with offences related to the destruction of the railway line. The State said it believed the scrap metal dealers masterminded the sabotage.
