{{Rwanda has began working on a multi billion railway project aimed at linking the landlocked country to Mombasa Port through Uganda.}}
The railway project estimated to cost over $5Billion will ease transportation of goods between Rwanda and Kenya through Uganda.
Rwanda’s Minister of Infrastructure, Prof. Silas Lwakabamba says, “there is no reason for us to delay this important project.”
He said the ministry is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the cost of the project, the route of the railway line, how those affected will be compensated and the appropriate technology to use to deliver the project on time.
“We have already signed a memorandum of understanding with Uganda and Kenya. We are working more closely with our counterparts in Uganda to ensure the project is completed as scheduled,” Prof. Lwakabamba said.
