Uhuru dismisses negative media report on SGR

President Uhuru Kenyatta has said Kenya will ignore negative reports from Western institutions on its decision to go big on infrastructure investment.

This comes after an article in London-based weekly magazine, The Economist, in June criticised Kenya’s construction of the Sh327 billion standard gauge railway (SGR) between Mombasa port and capital Nairobi, saying the railroad is third-rate with “mediocre” speeds.
