Government departments and agencies have been ordered to transport all import and export cargo on the standard gauge railway (SGR), adding a new twist to ongoing efforts to beef up the revenue base for Kenya’s most prized infrastructure.

Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua said in a March 7 circular that “all cargo imported and/or exported by government agencies, including cargo for projects undertaken by third parties, must be moved on SGR.”
