we secured fund for over 2000 km while Kenya got only funds for around 600 km (only Mombasa to Nairobi section)! So who to laugh at the other?
Atleast we have something to show for that distance ;what about you.
Have you considered the Naivasha section??

The agreement involves forming technical teams from both sides to oversee various issues regarding the whole construction process and other administration matters. The Permanent Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Finance, Dr Servacius Likwelile, said a feasibility study for the project will soon commence.
“In this agreement, we have analysed the best way to disburse funds for the construction process. Tanzania government has set aside 1tri/- from the current budget for that purpose,” he noted. It is expected that the line will link the country to landlocked neighbours Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda.
The railway line will run from Dar es Salaam to Tabora-Isaka-Mwanza, Tabora-Mpanda-Kalemela, Tabora-Uvinza-Kigoma and Isaka-Keza-Musongati and Burundi. The railway lines connect landlocked East African countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The line to Kigali, Rwanda, will ultimately connect the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
During a meeting in Dodoma on Wednesday, Exim Bank President, Mr Liu Liang, promised full cooperation with Tanzania in exchanging experience and skills on the construction of the railway and its management. President Magufuli also said the process to seek constructors for the railway has already commenced, in which he proposed four different constructors to be given the job.
“On this central railway line project, we have a positive view. We see it as a good project and we will accord the needed cooperation,” Mr Liu pledged. Once completed, it is expected that the project will revolutionise Tanzania’s economy and other countries in Eastern and Central Africa including Burundi, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The project as a whole is estimated to cost about 16tril/- , in which the railway is expected to connect the port of Dar es Salaam to Rwanda and Burundi, while two additional lines will connect Dar es Salaam to the coal, iron ore and soda ash mining areas in the south and northern parts of the country.

Stop SGR until land owners are paid, court rules

Construction of the Sh327 billion standard gauge railway on a parcel of land in Mombasa will remain suspended as losses continue to mount, the Environment and Land Court has ruled.
Lady Justice Ann Omollo said the construction of the SGR will only continue after Sh995,400,462, which was awarded to African Gas Oil Company Ltd and Miritni Free Port Ltd as compensation, is deposited in a joint escrow interest-earning account.
She directed the account to be opened in the joint names of lawyers for the two companies and those of Kenya Railways Corporation and thr National Land Commission within the next 21 days.
Kenya Railways says it’s losing Sh37.9 million daily since the construction was suspended by the court on June 24, putting the loss at nearly Sh1 billion now based on the lawyers’ estimates.
The loss is attributed to workers’ pay, expenses for running sites and for contracted supplies. The construction of the SGR is one of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration flagship projects.
Lady Justice Omollo further said upon compliance of the orders, the respondents will be free to proceed with the construction work.
“Should there be a default in order one (depositing money), there shall remain conservatory orders pending the hearing and determination of the petition,” said the judge.
Through lawyer Michael Oloo, African Gas and Oil Company Ltd and Miritini Free Port Ltd sought to have the construction halted pending hearing and determination of the petitions.
Mr Oloo said since the awards for compensation were issued, his clients have written several letters to the respondents without getting a response.
African Gas Oil Company stopped the rail construction on the strength that it’s yet to receive Sh519 million awarded to it by the National Land Commission as compensation for ceding the land for the mega project. But transfer of the funds were stopped after African Gas Oil ownership of the land was questioned.
Mr Oloo argued that prior to the acquisition of the land by the government, African Gas Oil wanted to put a container freight terminal and that there was no reason the government has refused to pay compensation money.
