Kenya has given China another sweetheart deal after agreeing to have a Chinese company operate business on the standard gauge railway without public bidding.
The deal to offer the firm the contract was reached on Saturday at a summit of the East African Community bloc in Kampala attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta, putting Rift Valley Railway (RVR) business at risk.
