"content": "(USA) to this day relies a lot on railway lines. In Kenya, we did not make a lot of progress. It was very encouraging that finally we got round to it. Whether it is the SGR or any other railway, expansion would greatly support the economy of this country. Having said that, it means therefore that it is important to pay attention, not just to agreements that relate to the new “snake” that is going to be built but to the concurrent developments that can take place along these new lines of the railway line. It is very important that our counties and Members of Parliament in various areas pay special attention to how they will benefit and take advantage of this new railway line in terms of development in agriculture, particularly in mining and forestry to move heavy goods rapidly. I think we have an excessive focus, almost fascination with goods leaving Mombasa. Sure enough, like an onion, it is the first major layer of problems and therefore we think that when the problems are moved, we will reach near utopia. Far from it! The benefits that we will accrue to this will depend on the investments that are made in other sectors as well that can take full advantage of this."
