The extension of the Standard Gauge Railway from Naivasha through Kisumu to Malaba marks a defining step in our journey toward inclusive economic transformation. This strategic investment will unlock the immense potential within Western Kenya spanning agriculture, the blue economy, tourism, and mining while strengthening regional trade and connectivity across East Africa.
By improving the movement of goods and people, the SGR will reduce logistical costs, open up markets for our farmers and entrepreneurs, and position Kisumu as a critical inland port city. It will also significantly ease the seasonal congestion experienced during festive periods, ensuring safer, faster, and more reliable travel for Kenyans.
This is not just infrastructure development it is a deliberate effort to bridge opportunity gaps, empower communities, and accelerate national growth in line with our long-term development agenda.
Under the leadership of William Ruto, we remain committed to delivering transformative projects that uplift livelihoods and secure Kenya’s future prosperity.
