Kenyan leadership and elite should focus on country's development especially the question of regional transport connectivity with Kenya as the revolving centre for the region. President @WilliamsRuto has been quite inclusive. #SGR #EastAfrica @lapsset #Lamu

Ambitious railway projects across Africa are slowing down. Continental railway connection plan is awaiting action from @NEPAD_Agency, @PIDA_Africa and @au_ied. Regional railways plans suffer setbacks. Terrorism, financing and political conflicts distract African leaders.

[African Railway Roundtable - Advocacy @AfroRail]

The incoming Nigeria's Presidency,@officialABAT shld ensure a private sector driven Nigeria's railways system. The colonial law is due for reform. The @info_NRC is ripe for unbundling into four separate firms and private sector can build, own & operate new lines @MinTransportNG

QUOTE: It is not intelligent for 54 African Presidents to go and sit before one President from another country for a summit. Sometimes we are mistreated. We are loaded onto buses like school kids. It is not right.
