Description
Description | Kenya is restarting a multi-billion-dollar railway extension project that was stalled for over six years due to funding cuts from China. The project aims to extend the railway from Naivasha near the Rift Valley to the Ugandan border, enhancing regional connectivity and commerce. The first section from Mombasa to Nairobi was completed in 2017. The project was initially financed through revenue securitisation and loans from China under the Belt and Road Initiative, which were renegotiated last year to reduce Kenya's annual repayments. |
