The Riruta/Lenana to Ngong Metre Gauge Railway (MGR) line, which was commissioned by President William Ruto last December, will soon start to take shape once the China Construction Communication Company (CCCC) fully begins work on the 12.5-kilometre railway.

While inaugurating the construction, President Ruto said the line would ease pressure on the main road artery and enable the movement of passengers faster and more efficiently.
