Saturday, April 26, 2025 - Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o has heaped praise on President William Ruto for securing a new deal with the Chinese Government to expand Kenya’s transport infrastructure.
In a statement issued on Saturday, April 26th,
Nyong’o said the Kenya Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) will now be extended to
Kisumu, a project that residents have awaited for many years.
“During his recent four-day visit to China, President
William Ruto signed a deal for a new funding model for Phase 2B of the Kenya
Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line that will include the long-awaited extension
to Kisumu.”
“This is welcome news,” Nyong’o said.
President Ruto also signed an agreement with China on April
24 for the dualing of the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit-Malaba Highway.
Speaking on behalf of Kisumu residents, Nyong’o thanked Ruto
for securing the financing needed to extend the SGR from Nakuru through Kisumu
to Malaba, connecting Kenya to Uganda.
“This branch of Kenya Railways has been on the drawing board
for a long time.”
“Making it a reality is something we in the Lake Region must
applaud. Kudos, Mr. President,” he added.
Nyong’o’s praise comes just days after he had accused Ruto
of "sabotaging devolution" over the disputed management of the Roads
Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF).
