Construction of the Sh327 billion standard gauge railway on a parcel of land in Mombasa will remain suspended as losses continue to mount, the Environment and Land Court has ruled.

Lady Justice Ann Omollo said the construction of the SGR will only continue after Sh995,400,462, which was awarded to African Gas Oil Company Ltd and Miritni Free Port Ltd as compensation, is deposited in a joint escrow interest-earning account.
