According to a notice via the government publication MyGov on Tuesday, February 18, Kenya Railways indicated that it plans to bid for funding as part of the Kenya Urban Mobility Improvement Project (KUMIP).
In a letter to the World Bank seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the Principal Secretary for the State Department of Transport stated that Kenya is seeking a facility of USD 670 million, about Ksh86.43 billion at the current exchange rates.
