A fight is looming between two chairmen of parliamentary committees over the botched cancellation of the order compelling importers to use Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to transport their goods to Nairobi...

In Summary

• Truckers and traders are still demonstrating in Mombasa, saying they don't have free access to the port, despite the government's promise.

• The government must stand by its words and scrap the order mandating SGR transport only. Competition from which SGR is being shielded is the surest way to test its viability.
