- A new area of interest could be the Railways where the Government seems not happy with the Concessionaire. RVR has been asked to improve service but we read the Government looking for ways of getting itself out of the mess which is a good area to monitor. The Government of Japan has given a confirmed grant of Kshs 20 Billion to modernise the port which includes dredging to accommodate bigger vessels. A package comprising the Railway and the Port could prove to be very lucrative if the Public Private Partnership framework is put in place. Opportunity abounds here.

The running of Kenya Railways may revert
to the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) as Kenya
and Uganda
start pondering alternative plans should the Rift Valley Railways (RVR)
concession fail to achieve desired results. Under the proposal gaining currency
in government circles, Kenya Railways would become a department or subsidiary
of KPA.
