Kenya and Uganda have officially launched an extension of the standard gauge railway aimed at strengthening transport and trade between the two countries.
Kenyan President William Ruto and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni jointly presided over the ceremony in Kisumu, in western Kenya.
The launch comes just days after Ruto flagged off construction of the Naivasha–Kisumu section of the railway, a key segment expected to improve connectivity between Kenya’s interior and regional markets.
The project is seen as a major step towards enhancing cross-border trade, reducing transport costs, and improving the movement of goods across East Africa.
