For this, I have allocated Kshs.22.9 billion to be raised through the Railway Development Levy (RDL), in 2014/2015 Budget. This is, in addition, to the amounts already collected under the RDL Fund and loans from the Peoples Republic of China; Second, we will also shortly workout modalities for financing the Nairobi to Malaba section with a branch line to the shores of Lake Victoria, to link the Port of Mombasa with the hinterland, provide efficient connectivity with our regional neighbours and position it as a preferred port of choice; Third, we are also finalizing modalities for the financing of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Commuter Rail to hasten movement of passengers to and from the Airport."}
