The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) will get Sh901 million from the exchequer in the new financial year starting July 1, to fund the completion of its passenger ticketing system and an integrated security system.
“The operations and maintenance of the standard gauge railway has been allocated Sh901 million from the Railway Development Fund for an integrated security management system and completion of the passenger ticketing system,” the Budget Committee of the National Assembly disclosed in a report. It did not give details of the ticketing and security system projects. The management of Kenya Railways Corporation—the agency under which SGR falls—had not responded to questions over the matter by the time of going to press.
