The Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) has frozen the purchase and overhaul of hundreds of wagons and coaches, after the government took away Sh7.6 billion funding to facilitate the transactions.

Funding for the procurement had been budgeted for the fiscal year ending June and KRC had planned to purchase 800 wagons and 20 coaches, but the Treasury removed the funds in the second supplementary budget.
