President William Ruto has revealed plans to extend Kenya's Standard Gauge Railway network toward Tanzania, with stations planned in Taita Taveta County and a dedicated budget of Sh5 billion allocated for the project.
SGR Expansion and Regional Connectivity
President Ruto announced during a church service in Mwatate that the government has set aside about Sh5 billion for the planned railway link from Voi towards Tanzania. The proposed line would pass through several parts of Taita Taveta County, with stations planned for Mwatate, Bura, Mwakitau and Taveta before the line crosses into Tanzania.
The announcement comes as Kenya pushes ahead with the expansion of its SGR network towards the western border. Construction of the Naivasha-Kisumu-Malaba railway has already commenced, with the project expected to connect Kenya's transport network to Uganda and strengthen regional trade.
Naivasha-Kisumu-Malaba Railway Progress
The Naivasha-Kisumu section covers about 264 kilometres, while the Kisumu-Malaba section will extend for about 107 kilometres to the Uganda border. The government has presented the railway as part of a wider regional transport corridor designed to improve the movement of passengers and cargo across East Africa.
Kenya's initial SGR line was developed under the Jubilee administration, running from Mombasa through Nairobi to Naivasha. The latest expansion plans would give the railway a broader regional dimension, with the government linking the project to future connections with Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Economic Opportunities for Taita Taveta Residents
Ruto said the proposed link towards Tanzania would complement Kenya's efforts to improve the movement of passengers and cargo across East Africa. He stated that residents would be able to drop passengers and carry cargo, and urged people not to listen to those saying Taita Taveta should not be developed.
The President also promised that Taita Taveta residents would receive title deeds in the following week, addressing a longstanding land ownership concern in the region. The proposed Tanzania connection would particularly have implications for Taita Taveta, a county whose strategic location along the Kenya-Tanzania border gives it an important role in cross-border trade and transport.
