bagamoyo port inajengwa na hii sgr tayari JPM ameshatenga 1trillion kwaajili ya kuanza ujenzi kwenye bajeti ya mwaka huu.
Time will tell....
1trillion is roughly less than ksh. 50billion.

Eight firms have been prequalified to bid for the construction of the standard gauge railway to link the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Rwanda and Burundi

IN SUMMARY
The Dar es Salaam-Isaka-Kigali-Keza-Musongati railway, is a high priority project within the framework of the East African Railway Master Plan.
The East African states are under pressure from the business community to develop an efficient railway system to reduce the costs of transport.
High transport costs in East Africa have been cited as a serious challenge to the region’s ability to compete effectively with the rest of the world in trade.
Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania plan joint railway project
Eight firms have been prequalified to bid for the construction of the standard gauge railway to link the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Rwanda and Burundi as the region seeks to lower transport costs.
Details of prequalified firms to finance, design, build and operate the proposed 1,665km long railway are however scanty. The project will cost about $7.6 billion, making it one of the East African Community’s biggest railway project.
“I cannot name the firms that have been prequalified. But about 60 per cent are from China,” said Imbuchi Onyango, a technical expert on railways at the East African Community Secretariat.
The Dar es Salaam-Isaka-Kigali-Keza-Musongati railway, is a high priority project within the framework of the East African Railway Master Plan.
According to the Rwanda Transport Development Authority, at least 172 km of the route will be in Burundi and 123km in Rwanda.
There will be 407km of new alignment in Tanzania from Keza to Isaka, and 970km paralleling the existing metre-gauge line between Isaka and Dar es Salaam.
Mr Onyango would also not reveal when governments of Rwanda, Tanzania and Burundi are likely to call for the bids, saying the African Development Bank (AfDB), the major financer of the project, has to issue a no-objection note on the prequalified firms.
Mr Onyango described the prequalified firms as experienced and financially sound and thus able to deliver the project in time.
“The list of prequalified firms has been sent to the African Development Bank for a no-objection note before they bid,” said Mr Onyango in Kigali.
The East African states are under pressure from the business community to develop an efficient railway system to reduce the costs of transport.
High transport costs in East Africa have been cited as a serious challenge to the region’s ability to compete effectively with the rest of the world in trade.
For instance, importers say it costs Rwanda on average $4,990 to import a 20ft container while the sub-Saharan average is $2,504, which makes the country uncompetitive in cross-border trade.
Good... We crossed that point in 2013¿

I did not say you are not building an SGR,but will it match Kenya's with the turnels and all those.
Even if our SGR is overcharged,40% of the resources come from Kenya. Moreover, for every 1 Chinese worker there are 10 Kenyans. So more than 40% of that money stays in Kenya. So even if it is overpriced,how much stays in our economy??

Mind u we won u pipeline deal because of having more expertise to undertake such projects among other reasons!
