Kenya’s conservation fraternity, at least for now, can be proud to have stopped the Chinese construction company selected to build the second stretch of the new Standard Gauge Railway, in short SGR, which will run from Nairobi to the Rift Valley town of Naivasha. It is there that the Kenyan government intends to set up a special economic zone and the railway link will be a key element of infrastructure development to accomplish that task.
The Chinese company had reportedly began putting up work camps and done more than just exploratory work before the final route had been determined and gone through all required processes, including submitting a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment study to NEMA and having it subjected to public hearings. This again exposes a Chinese company of complete and utter disregard for Kenya’s laws, as repeatedly also seen in the past in connection with the use of sand dredgers off the award winning Diani beaches south of Mombasa.
