Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) cargo train started operations on Wednesday, effectively cutting down the cost of transporting goods from Mombasa, and reducing time it gets to the destination.
The new Chinese-built route aimed at cementing Kenya’s position as the gateway to East Africa was launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta at Port Reitz in Mombasa.
The inaugural train boarded by President Uhuru Kenyatta was driven by two young Kenyan women aged 27 and 23. They recently graduated from the Railways Training Institute under tutelage of the Chinese.
