Ongoing construction of the Nairobi-Naivasha phase of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has been suspended in the last three days as workers protest low pay and harsh working conditions.

The more than 800 employees on Friday protested at the Satellite section in Mai Mahiu, saying they will only resume work after their grievances are fully addressed.
