It will cost taxpayers Sh3.7 billion to build a 3.5-kilometre Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line link to the Export Processing Zone Authority (EPZA) in Athi River to remove the last-mile connectivity challenges for exporters in the protected zones.

Manufacturers operating at EPZA are currently being forced to truck their goods via road to the Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Nairobi before they can be ferried via the SGR cargo train to Mombasa.

Teknobyte Limited, the firm contracted to do feasibility studies for the SGR siding says it will cost Sh3.7 billion to complete the line.

Seriously we can’t extend the SGR to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Hii ni upus. Let them use trucks to ferry their goods to the SGR terminal which is just next door. Hii maneno ya coming up with hare-brained projects za gughula is nonsense, upus.

Uhuru’s government inflated the price of everything due to kickbacks given to almost all his family members. Very wasteful government.

Si wanunue PEPE from Mwau ama waconvert that Veterinary school hapo Athi River into an ICD na EPZ wakuwe wanatruck hizo vitu hapo. It’s less than 3 km from EPZ to PEPE ICD.

Wawache watu wa lorries wafanye last mile connections from sgr to factories.

3.7B wanipatie 5yr contract ya kutransport nijaze vijana 3,500 hapo @ 500/- per day each to carry goods a distance of 1m.

Seriously though, can’t they just do light rail and to a consolidation station at the main SGR for Less than 250m?
