Uganda has signed a Ksh5 billion deal with China Roads and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) in order to link Kampala with the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) in Kenya.

This is in a bid to enhance trade with Uganda as well as enable easier transport of goods via SGR from Kampala to Mombasa port. Currently, goods are transported from the port of Mombasa to Uganda by road.

A report by Business Daily details that Uganda will revamp the metre gauge line(from Malaba to Kampala) which will be linked to the SGR through the Naivasha to Malaba railway line.

The Chinese firm stated that it would take less than a year to rehabilitate the 260-kilometre line.

The groundbreaking deal was signed during President Uhuru Kenyatta's visit to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's inauguration. Transport CS James Macharia was among the officials present during the signing.

"We came here to assist them (Uganda) conclude this deal. It has been done. The idea is to make sure that we have a seamless operation of the metre gauge railway line from Naivasha all the way to Kampala," Macharia stated.
Initially, there had been concerns regarding the effectiveness of the railway line without linking to Kampala, which is a key trade partner at Mombasa port.

"We had contracted CRBC to rehabilitate the Longonot to Malaba line and the progress is good so far. So, we felt for it to make sense, Uganda had to also start doing the same for their line to make this project complete," he stated.

The railway line is part of the government's efforts to enhance ties with its neighbouring countries.

Uhuru and Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu, during her recent two-day visit, signed a Ksh100 billion deal that would see Tanzania construct a gas pipeline from Dar es Salaam to Mombasa.

The deal would see the pipeline pass through the port city of Tanga to Mombasa.
Suluhu, while addressing the media, noted that the project would create more employment opportunities for both nations.

Her sentiments were echoed by Uhuru who noted that the initiative would further reestablish ties between the two countries.

"We are not only neighbours geographically, but have other elements in common such as culture, language and shared heritage," Uhuru stated.

Kila wakati wana sign hiyo mikataba lakini hamna kinacho fanywa.....its more of a political ceremony than economical, Kenya walianzisha white elephant project kwa kutegemea Uganda. Na m7 anatumia hiyo sgr kama economic negotiation kwa Kenya, Kenya imeruhusu mahindi ya uganda na Maziwa kwa ahadi ya kujenga SGR upande wa Uganda ili ya Kenya iwe economically relevant......
 
Museveni is to visit Tanzania this week to witness EACOP signing, if i were Samia i will extend invitation for him to attend the incoming launch of lot 5 for Mwanza-Isaka electrical SGR!
Kwamba itasaidia nini akihudhuria? Maana kama ni sgr upande wa Kenya na Uganda wanajenga hii ya Tzn inajengwa kwa hiyo hapo itakuwa ni option tu ya wafanyabiashara kupata alternative in case either of the said kuna shida.

Rais alishasema hashindani na Kenya au yeyote bali anarahisisha mazingira ya biashara na uwekezaji

SSH anaonekana isn’t interested na miradi ya miundombinu, atamalizia tu ya JPM ila hataweza kuanzisha mradi wowote mkubwa wa miundombinu hadi 2025.
 
Wanasiasa wanafiki, as long as maslahi yao na madili yao yapo secured watafunga midomo, tuombee wasaidizi wake wawe strong enough kulinda maslahi ya watz na Tz, vinginevyo we are doomed.
Ila kusema kweli sijaona alichokosea mpaka saahii! kuongea na IMF na WB ni kutafuta mikopo ya masharti nafuu! Kumbuka SGR network ina 2700 km na kwa mwendo wa kutenga budget ya kujenga SGR tu hatutafika! At any time kipindi cha JPM budget ya SGR haijawahi kuvuka $800 mln tena wakati mwingine inashuka mpaka $400 mln! Kama umeona mama anaji-align sana na France na ukiangalia vizuri ni wakati muafaka kuitumia Ufaransa kuiomba mikopo nafuu kama tulivyopata fedha za BRT phase V kupitia AFD. Kumbuka France inatuhitaji sana kama corridor ya mafuta yake great lake region. Kumbuka ujenzi wa makao makuu Dodoma utahitaji si chini ya $2 bln ili kuwa makao makuu ya kweli kimiundombinu, kiofisi na makazi. Naomba tutulie!
