Kenya launches new railway to reach South Sudan and Burundi



Kenya has formally launched a new, Chinese-financed railway which should extend across East Africa to reach South Sudan, DR Congo and Burundi.

The first section will link the Kenyan port of Mombasa to the capital, Nairobi, reducing the journey time from 15 hours to about four.

It is said to be the country's biggest infrastructure project since independence 50 years ago.

The cost of the railway will be $5.2bn (£3.2bn) - mostly funded by China.

Some Kenyans have complained that the contract was given to the Chinese state-owned China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) without going to tender.

'Historic milestone'

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed the deal in August in Beijing.

It is also hoped that the railway will reduce congestion in Mombasa, one of Africa's busiest ports.

The current railway network dates back to the colonial era.

After the Nairobi section is finished, with completion due in 2017, it will be extended through Uganda, with branch lines west to Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo, south through Rwanda to Burundi and north to South Sudan.

Passenger trains will travel at a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), while freight trains will have a maximum speed of 80 km/h.

"What we are doing here today will most definitely transform... not only Kenya but the whole eastern African region," President Kenyatta told crowds at the ceremony, calling it an "historic milestone", the AFP news agency reports.

"As a result East Africa will become a competitive investment destination," the agency quoted him as saying.

Earlier, he said the railway was one of the flagship projects of his government's ambitious Vision 2030 initiative to improve much-neglected infrastructure.

"The project will define my legacy as president of Kenya and it is my personal desire that the implementation is done to the standard," he said in a statement on Wednesday after meeting CRBC officials.

He also thanked the Chinese government for the "massive infrastructural projects in the country", which "reduced the cost of doing business and created employment through increased investments".

Kenya would be working closely with Uganda and Rwanda during the first phase, which would boost ties between the neighbours, he added.

"Kenya will fully meet its obligations towards the project. I will personally oversee its implementation," Mr Kenyatta said.

That's all part of the regional plan.

The Addis - Nairobi line will start to be built as part of Lapsset (Lamu Port, South Sudan, Ethiopia) project:

East Africa: Single EA Passport Ready By 2015



EFFECTIVE 2015, citizens of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda will be travelling using the new generation East African Passport, a modern regional travelling document likely to replace their national ones.

A communiqué from the Heads of State Summit, taking place in Uganda, which was made available here via the Arusha-based East African Community (EAC) Secretariat, quoted the five presidents agreeing to launch the new passport by November 2015.

The communiqué was signed by presidents Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi at the weekend in Kampala.

The current East African passport apparently is only valid within the five countries and thus holders also had to depend on their respective national passports when travelling abroad.

However, the new regional travelling document, to be released in 2015, will be an international one which means is likely to replace national passports.

According to the official release, the heads of state had during their ordinary summit also discussed the prevailing security situation in the region and the need for concerted efforts towards combating terrorism and negative forces in the region and reaffirmed its commitment to peace and security in the region.

The summit noted with concern the recent political and security developments in Somalia and urged all parties to embrace dialogue and create an environment conducive for the implementation of Somalia's vision 2016 and facilitate the country's elections slated for 2016.

During the summit, the five presidents signed a monetary- union deal, pouring the sands-of-time on a 10-year marathon for the establishment of a single currency to apply within the five East African states and possibly beyond.

The agreement came after nearly a decade of talks after which Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania Burundi and Rwanda will now try to establish institutions-- including a regional central bank and a statistics body--to support the single currency which will sail in 2023.

The deal marks an important touchstone in the region's transition from a collection of conflict zones to one of the world's most promising destinations for investment.

President Uhuru Kenyatta on the other hand became the new Chairman of the EAC Heads of State Summit and in assuming the role, the new leader stated that "East African Community is now fully embarked on enormous, ambitious and transformational initiatives for our people."

After establishing the Customs Union in 2005 and the Common Market in 2010, East African countries have reached the third stage toward a united political federation: The Monetary Union Protocol.

With a combined population of nearly 140 million people, East Africa is becoming a potential destination for foreign investment especially with the discovery of natural-gas and oil.

Uganda and Kenya have discovered huge amounts of oil, while Tanzania boasts of huge natural gas reserves.International companies have already started surveying these potential resources and the region is in future set to become the next major energy hub in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Member states will also establish the East African Monetary Institute, which will take charge of all the monetary and exchange-rate policies, while the statistics body will produce regular inflation figures to guide price stabilisation.

On the other hand, Mr Shem Bagaine, Uganda's minister in charge of the EAC, said that all member states including Tanzania 'have reaffirmed' their commitment to the integration following the heads-of-state summit in Kampala.
