As Kenya marks 50 years since unshackling itself from colonialism, it is perhaps time to look back at the history of some of Kenya's landmarks to better understand the contribution made by Kenyans of different races in shaping the country's future. For just two sterling pounds a month, an equivalent of 24,000 Kenya shillings at current exchange rates, and using nothing other than their bare hands and feet, indian labourers dared the man-eating lions of Tsavo to build the rail track from Mombasa to Kampala. Their sacrifices in the construction of the line nicknamed the "lunatic express" helped lay the foundation to a modern Kenya and book a special place for the Indian community in Kenya.
Our reporter brings you the story of the Indian connection to Kenya's infrastructural development.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has told the Uganda Parliament that the joint construction of a Standard Gauge Railway between Kenya and Uganda has already kicked off in Mombasa to ease the cost of transporting goods from the coast to Uganda.
This would help reduce the number of days of delivering goods and services from three to one.
President Uhuru believes the ongoing expansion of Mombasa port is geared at benefiting both countries in increasing the capacity of the port to handle the ever increasing traffic and volume of goods docked at the port destined to regional member states.

In 1898, during the construction of river-crossing bridge for the Uganda Railway at the Tsavo River, as many as 135 railway workers were attacked at night, dragged into the wilderness, and devoured by two male lions. The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is the autobiographical account of Royal Engineer Lt. Col. J.H. Patterson's African adventures. Among them, his hunt for the two man-eaters. This book was the basis for the 1996 film The Ghost and the Darkness. (Summary by James Christopher)

The Uganda Railway (known colloquially as The Lunatic Express) is a railway system and former railway company linking the interiors of Uganda and Kenya with the Indian Ocean at Mombasa in Kenya.
The official approach, British and local, to both slavery and free porter labour included a genuine belief that the man doing the work had real interests which deserved concern and protection. No such concern was evident among parliamentarians, missionaries or administrators for those at work on the construction of the Uganda Railway. It was decided to build the railway as quickly as possible; its construction was viewed almost as a military attack—casualties were inevitable and might be large if the objective was to be attained and momentum not lost.
Built during the Scramble for Africa, the Uganda Railway was "a truly imperial project, built by the British government with little purpose other than to cement its colonial power". 2,498 workers would die during its construction.
The Uganda Railway was named after its ultimate destination, for its entire original 660-mile length actually lay in what would become Kenya. Construction began at the port city of Mombasa in British East Africa in 1896, and finished at the line's terminus, Kisumu, on the eastern shore of Lake Victoria, in 1901. 200,000 individual 30 feet rail-lengths and 1.2 million sleepers, 200,000 fish-plates, 400,000 fish-bolts and 4.8 million steel keys including steel girders for viaducts and causeways had to be imported, necessitating the creation of a modern port at Kilindini in Mombasa. With their new steam-powered access to Uganda, the British could ferry people and soldiers about to ensure their domination of the region.

Uganda (
/juːˈɡændə/ yew-GAN-də or /juːˈɡɑːndə/ yew-GAHN-də), officially the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country in East Africa. Uganda is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by South Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also shared by Kenya and Tanzania.
Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom, which encompasses a large portion of the south of the country including the capital Kampala.
The people of Uganda were hunter-gatherers until 1,700 to 2,300 years ago, when Bantu-speaking populations migrated to the southern parts of the country. Uganda gained independence from Britain on 9 October 1962.
The official languages are English and Swahili, although multiple other languages are spoken in the country.

"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.

The Kampala-Kigali section of Standard Gauge Railway line, under the northern corridor infrastructure development initiative, is likely delay as Uganda shifts its priority to a more economically viable line to South Sudan. Uganda’s change of priorities leaves Rwanda with no option but to look east to Tanzania, a non-member of the so-called coalition of the willing of the northern corridor, for a quicker railway connection to the sea. -

Rebecca Kadaga appointed a 7 members of parliament headed by Nakifuma legislator Kafero Ssekitooleko to a select committee to probe the circumstances under which China Harbour Engineering company (Chec) won the Shs22 trillion contract to upgrade and expand Uganda’s railway system to standard gauge.

Public Transport, Namanve-Kampala Railway
Three months ago Kampala Capital City Authority in partnership with Rift valley railways, Uganda railways cooperation and the ministry of transport launched a pilot passenger train service. The commuter train service was to link the City with its suburbs in order to ease transport costs and traffic Jam, starting with the Kampala Namanve route. The route has two stages and 3 stop overs, a stage in Kampala and Namanve and then stopovers in Nakawa, Kireka and Namboole. But has this project eased transport in the city? Mid this week, I hit the road, as early as 5am, to Namanve for my early trip to Kampala. At exactly, 7:05am, the engine arrives and engineers attach the coaches and we are ready to go. But as passenger wait to board, they have to stand in open space, with no shelter to wait fro... -

For just two sterling pounds a month, an equivalent of 24,000 Kenya shillings at current exchange rates, and using nothing other than their bare hands and feet, indian labourers dared the man-eating lions of Tsavo to build the rail track from Mombasa to Kampala.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has told the Uganda Parliament that the joint construction of a Standard Gauge Railway between Kenya and Uganda has already kicked off in Mombasa to ease the cost of transporting goods from the coast to Uganda.
This would help reduce the number of days of delivering goods and services from three to one.
President Uhuru believes the ongoing expansion of Mombasa port is geared at benefiting both countries in increasing the capacity of the port to handle the ever increasing traffic and volume of goods docked at the port destined to regional member states.

The matter was raised by NRM Rebel MPs led by Lwemiyaga MP Theodore Ssekukuubo accusing government of partaking bribes in the process of the lucrative project.
Ssekikuubo’s stunning revealation was sparked by then state minister for works hon. John Byabagambi’s decision to cancel an earlier memorandum of understanding between government and another firm, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation.
In a scandal that shocked the country, Ssekikuubo revealed that government had disregarded court orders prohibiting it from entering into another contract for the SGR project in Uganda if the CCECC [was still interested in the same route.”
During an exclusive interview at parliament, the chairperson of the select committee Hon. Kafeero disclosed that he had gathered and compiled all the details pertinent to thecontroversialdeal and was only for a green light from speaker of parliament to table the report.

Three months ago Kampala Capital City Authority in partnership with Rift valley railways, Uganda railways cooperation and the ministry of transport launched a pilot passenger train service.
The commuter train service was to link the City with its suburbs in order to ease transport costs and traffic Jam, starting with the Kampala Namanve route. The route has two stages and 3 stop overs, a stage in Kampala and Namanve and then stopovers in Nakawa, Kireka and Namboole.
But has this project eased transport in the city? Mid this week, I hit the road, as early as 5am, to Namanve for my early trip to Kampala.
At exactly, 7:05am, the engine arrives and engineers attach the coaches and we are ready to go. But as passenger wait to board, they have to stand in open space, with no shelter to wait from. And just in case of bad weather, the train maybe unusable.
The train is too high to board and this makes it impossible for the persons with disabilities, children, the elderly and the sick.
Just like Pioneer easy Bus, starting without the right structures is heavily impacting on rift valley railways, raising questions as to whether learnt anything from the Pioneer easy bus operation challenges.
Ultimately, the survival of the project depends on its success. But this will heavily rely on the quality of service. But with these loopholes, the players are on their knees as the Chief Operations officer Uganda Railways Wakasenza explains.
Earlier rift valley railways had announced that five commuter coaches were ready for the services. Each of five coaches was to carry 200 passengers, who would pay 1500 shillings for the whole route from Kampala to Namanve. The coaches make two routs daily, morning and evening.
KCCA as usual remains optimistic that the service will work out even when the challenges therein are yet to be addressed. But with all possible solutions struggling due to neglect by responsible sector players, it remains to be seen as to whether the Kampala transport challenge will ever be solved.

The train is too high to board and this makes it impossible for the persons with disabilities, children, the elderly and the sick.
Just like Pioneer easy Bus, starting without the right structures is heavily impacting on rift valley railways, raising questions as to whether learnt anything from the Pioneer easy bus operation challenges.
Ultimately, the survival of the project depends on its success. But this will heavily rely on the quality of service. But with these loopholes, the players are on their knees as the Chief Operations officer Uganda Railways Wakasenza explains.
Earlier rift valley railways had announced that five commuter coaches were ready for the services. Each of five coaches was to carry 200 passengers, who would pay 1500 shillings for the whole route from Kampala to Namanve. The coaches make two routs daily, morning and evening.
KCCA as usual remains optimistic that the service will work out even when the challenges therein are yet to be addressed. But with all possible solutions struggling due to neglect by responsible sector players, it remains to be seen as to whether the Kampala transport challenge will ever be solved.
