CHALLENGES TO DEVELOPING RAILWAY PROJECTS
Considerations: 1. Very large and expensive projects – billions of US$;2. Have long incubation period requiring tenacity;3. Challenges include:
– Buy-in by stakeholders– Securing the railway corridors and locations for
workshops, depots and passenger stations;– Identifying funding for infrastructure
rolling stock provision and operations– Fast tracking procurement process of the various
items– Identifying suitable source of energy– Providing railway expertise– Uncoordinated development– Environmental and social issues

FUNDING IDENTIFICATION
POSSIBLE SOURCE COMMENTSPrivate sector for rolling stock and operational logistics
This is now the trend in railway and other infrastructure operations
Development partners Buy-in for the project being pursued
Private investors Will require GoK guarantees, which could be constrained by level of public debt to GDP ratio
Government budget Insufficient, constrained by other compelling needs
Railway development fund – set up by GoK and funded from fuel levy, grants and donations
Insufficient but could be used to securitise loans by GoK
Government to Government (G-to-G) arrangement
Promising, already applied for roads development
Recommendation: GoK to pursue a G-to-G arrangement with a government having financial and technical capability; G-to-G to be supported by GoK budget and a Railway Development Fund

TRACTION
• Steam – obsolete• Diesel – initially• Electrification – in the long term• ELECTRIFICATION PREFERRED

OPTIONS FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION
Renewable/s– Solar– Wind– Sea waves– Hydro– Geothermal
Fossils– Coal– Petroleum (diesel, heavy diesel and black
oil)– Natural gas (methane)
UnclearNUCLEAR PREFERRED – SAFE, CLEAN
AND PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

CONCLUSIONNone of the challenges is insuperableRailway development in the region is an
idea whose time has come; nothing can stop it; friends will support it and assist to develop it; sceptic will be persuaded to join the believers.
Electric traction is the better option;For Kenya and the region, nuclear
energy could be consideredThere is commercial opportunity in the
investing into large nuclear and coal power generation plants
