The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) extension project from Naivasha to Kisumu and beyond to Malaba has officially broken ground in Narok, following President William Ruto's launch.

• The project aims to significantly boost regional trade by connecting Kenya with neighboring countries like Uganda.
• Key figures include President William Ruto, who officiated the ceremony, and is expected to be joined by Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni at a later launch in Kisumu.
• The existing SGR line reportedly generates over Sh1.3 billion monthly in freight operations alone, with passenger revenue exceeding Sh4 billion annually.
