Kenya will hand over the operation of the upcoming standard gauge railway (SGR) line from Naivasha to Malaba to a private investor in a strategic shift aimed at easing the financial burden of the mega infrastructure project on taxpayers.

The two phases of the SGR extension—from Naivasha to Kisumu and onward to Malaba—are expected to cost approximately Sh645.95 billion ($5 billion).
