Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni and his Kenyan counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta Wednesday closed ranks on the need to extend the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to Kampala via Malaba.
The two countries have been differing over financing of the cross border SGR, with China Exim Bank insisting that Kampala has to get Kenya’s commitment to build the rail from Kisumu to Malaba, before Uganda can secure funding for the line running from Kampala to the common boundary.
