Boss, table the document showing the max axle weight for sgr is not 25T or forever keep quiet.SGR only needs to pay for its day to day running. It is not a profit minting project.
If it ends up actually turning a profit, that will be welcome but wasn't the main reason for construction.
When the line is complete and all logistic hurdles sorted, now you can judge it if it doesn't pay for its own operation.
And you keep missing the point. When you say there are no malls etc, you are ignoring the fact that the SGR was a freight first line. There will be 56 locomotives, and only 4 have been designated for passengers.
That tells you where the focus is.
Also, when all phases are complete, traffic and frequency of rides will go up. The already booming business at stations will also go up substantially.
And no, I have not missed any point SGR was sold as a project with both direct and indirect benefits..Table the economic analysis the same way I have tabled Thika road. And then point out from the document which indirect benefits have been achieved or are currently being developed with impetus from the SGR..
In absence of these two issues, you are simply blowing hot air
