Uganda refocuses on metre gauge rail as Kenya delays SGR
- Kampala scales back its ambitions to the metre gauge rail after Nairobi's failure to get money for building a standard line to the border.
- But Uganda faces another hurdle back home; the metre railway is currently operated by RVR, whose concession had been terminated.
- Experts told The EastAfrican that even if finances for the Kisumu-Malaba and Malaba-Kampala are availed immediately, it would take another three years to get the project over the line from commencement of construction.
