Kenya is in talks with China to halve the interest on the standard gauge railway (SGR) loan to three percent through converting dollar-denominated debt used to build the modern rail to yuan and ease the financing burden.

The negotiations, which are at an advanced stage, are aimed at helping reduce the Sh130 billion that Kenya spends annually on servicing its debt to China.
