Uganda has announced plans to start constructing its standard gauge railway (SGR) later this year after it apparently dropped an earlier condition that required Kenya to extend its track to the border first.

The 273-kilometre track linking the capital Kampala to Kenya’s border town of Malaba will be built at a cost of Sh230 billion, local media quoting government sources said.
