The Kenya Railway Corporation (KRC) is finalizing the operationalization of the Sh4.2B Mombasa Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) terminus and Mombasa Central Railway Station 26-kilometre Link Line Project.
While briefing the National Assembly Committee on Implementation, led by Budalangi Member of Parliament (MP), Raphael Wanjala, during an inspection tour of SGR operations in Mombasa, KRC Managing Director (MD) Philip Mainga said that that the project is ready for launching.
Initiated in September 2022, the project experienced delays due to land acquisition challenges.
The Ministry of Transport subsequently allocated Sh1.1 billion to the National Land Commission, to facilitate land acquisition, paving the way for the rehabilitation of the Mombasa Metre Gauge Railway (MGR) line to Miritini.
