Kenya Railways is stepping up its bid to breath life into the railway lines it has rehabilitated to serve Western Kenya with a commercial centre at its Kisumu terminus. 

The railway operator has completed the construction of a 50,000 square feet commercial facility dubbed Uhuru Business Complex at the newly built passenger terminus next to the port.
