Kenya, China quietly strike deal on modern
railway line
Kenya has
turned to China to fund the building of a new standard gauge railway line
between Mombasa and Nairobi, potentially upsetting current infrastructure
arrangements with its neighbours. The railway line, which is to be built
according to Chinese railway design standards, will carry freight trains at
speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, and passenger trains at up to 120
kilometers per hour. It will be completed in five years, with the cost of the
track alone estimated at a massive $2.6 billion…..
