Kenya unveils $13.8 billion cargo train

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday unveiled a Chinese-built railway, the country's biggest infrastructure project since independence 122 years after the launch of a similar project.

 Kenya’s newly built 13.8 billion dollars standard gauge railway is aimed at cementing Kenya’s position as the gateway to East Africa.


Tuesday’s launch precedes the unveiling of the maiden passenger train from Mombasa to Nairobi on Wednesday morning.

The government maintains it will continue to invest in infrastructure.
