SGR personnel training gains steam as more learners leave

In Summary

- The launch of operations on the 480-kilometre Nairobi-Mombasa standard gauge railway (SGR) last year has necessitated the need to train more personnel to continue sustainably after the foreign contractors depart.
- The first group of 25 Kenyans took up the course in 2016 and another 35 last year.
- They are studying among other courses, traffic and transportation management, telecommunications control engineering, locomotive and rolling stock engineering and signalling engineering.
