The government has announced new rates of cargo transported through the standard gauge railway (SGR), hoping to woo users and step up competition against truckers.

The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) in a notice announced new promotional tariffs which have been reduced by more than Sh6,500 ($50) for services rendered to containerised cargo destined to the Inland Container Depot Nairobi (ICDN) and Nairobi-based Container Freight Stations (CFS).
