A bilateral agreement to build a new 3000km electrified Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Lamu Port in Kenya to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa has been signed by Kenya’s cabinet secretary for transport, Mr Kipchumba Murkomen, and his Ethiopian counterpart, Dr Alemu Sime.

The new line forms part of the project to develop the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia (Lapsset) transport corridor, centred on the new port of Lamu.
