"content": "So, the right direction to go for the country from the word go is to do a SGR that gives the country a modern means of transport that is both efficient and economic. It lowers the cost of transporting goods not just in Kenya, but across our neighbours. Even the contribution that we are making from the levies from cargo currently is sufficient to finance the railway. I take it very negatively when we hear advice from very reputable institutions telling us about how unwise it is for us to invest in a SGR. If we had a network of SGRs where we had the Lunatic Express, this country would achieve much greater milestones. When you think about the modern economic trends, including the increasing cargo being handled at the Kenyan Port and the increasing trade within our neighbouring countries, I believe it is absence of foresight for us to forsake the opportunity to give the country the SGR."
