Construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) extension from Narok to Kisumu is scheduled to begin next month, with an expected completion date of June 2027.

• The 269-kilometre extension will be fully funded by the Kenyan government, with some sections utilizing a public-private partnership.
• Kenya Railways Corporation Managing Director, Philip Mainga, confirmed that all necessary design and costing procedures are complete.
• The line will initially be served by diesel locomotives due to electricity challenges, though it is designed for future electrification.
