New railway between Uganda and Rwanda takes next hurdle

Wolfgang H Thome's Blog - 1 hour ago

As Kenya advances the new Standard Gauge Railway, in short named SGR,
so have in parallel Rwanda and Uganda made their own progress to link
the Kenyan section coming up to Tororo to Kampala and Kigali.

It was established that the two governments have now appointed German
consultancy firm Gauff to develop the design of the new railway, the
first ever to connect Rwanda with the Indian Ocean seaport of Mombasa.
The cost of the consultancy contract, reported to be some 6.3 million
Euros, will be shared between the two countries in accordance with the
distance covered by the new railway line in each of the countries. A
time frame of 12 months has been set for the consultants to complete
their work and submit their findings and recommendations.

The construction of the new railway line has already commenced in
Kenya, albeit slowly as land acquisition and compensation still
constitutes a major challenge - some land is located inside the Tsavo
National Park while other land especially closer to the capital
Nairobi and along the route to Tororo is private land - and the
project, with a price tag of over 13.5 billion US Dollars, is due for
completion by 2018 according to the current time table available.

The three countries of Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda have last year agreed
to fast track several infrastructure and cooperation projects, among
them the new railway, breaking ranks with the other EAC member states,
in order to end countless delays and finally turn some of the visions
the East African Community has into reality.
