Learnt what?
As far as Ruto goes - SGR was great idea he pushed in Jubilee 1.0 - but Uhuru captured and messed it up.
Nobody was supposed to be forced to use SGR.
SGR was to add competition to trucks - not forcefully supplant trucks and take over Mombasa port.
If SGR is not competitive - fix the problems - and they are mostly last miles issues and congestion at Nairobi ICD.
Kenya Railways can easily fix those by providing total logistic support - not drop cargo in ICD - but final destination like trucks
They can rehabilitate the railway lines in industrial area for final last mile delivery.
Railway dev levy is still being collected - 1.5% of all imports - that is a lot of money- to finance this railway for posterity
Kenya has to finish SGR because the sunk cost of 1.5B dollars to naivasha is waste - huge waste. 150B kshs plus interest.
Nairobi-MSA is competitive without using force...KR just need to solve last mile issues intelligently.
Naivasha doesnt make much sense until we get it to Kampala - which next big city after Nairobi where cargo is destined to.
btw Naivasha to Kampala - we still have to do another 230km to kisumu; 120km to Malaba then 200km to Kampala; that for china man is easy; nearly same distance btw Nairobi to Mombasa - and can be nailed in 3yrs.
Murkomen and others I doubt are driving strategy.
Ndii, others and statehouse are the ones doing the thinking.
Murkomen job is to implement.
Ruto has to correct Uhuru mistakes - Chinese were ready to finance SGR then he went there with Raila and made huge mess of it.
Chinese asked for new feasibility study - because kenya were asking 50% grant.
