The National Treasury has allocated an additional Sh14 billion to extend the standard gauge railway (SGR) from Naivasha to Malaba via Kisumu, pointing to President William Ruto’s resolve to complete the modern railway to the Ugandan border.

Yesterday, the National Assembly received a new supplementary budget that increases the allocation for extending the railway line from Naivasha to Kisumu and eventually to Malaba, pushing its total allocation to Sh30 billion for the financial year ending June.
