SGR will reignite our economy

Kenya just launched a modern railway, the Standard Gauge Railway. The takeoff has opened a new chapter in the transport sector, one that many hope will steer the economy forward. Over the years, Africa has lagged behind the Western world because of its poor state of infrastructure - the lifeline of industrialisation.

 

As a nation, we should pat ourselves on our backs for this great fete. The benefits accruing from the new railway are immense. I salute the Jubilee Government for making the SGR dream a reality. Robust economic growth cannot happen in an environment devoid of infrastructure. Benard Amaya, Nairobi
