SGR easing traffic congestion on our roads, says Railways boss

Acting Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) managing director Philip Mainga might not have been in the thick of the storm surrounding the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). But he has felt the heat, nonetheless. Speaking to Weekend Business, Mr Mainga says that the public is unaware of the role of the railway. He says that Government is offering consumers an alternative mode of transportation through railways to decongest other modes of transport, especially Nairobi’s roads, which are notorious for traffic snarl-ups.
