It's Me Scumbag

You are the same people who say we should have revamped the old lunatic express instead of building the SGR. Sasa tungekuwa tunafika Mombasa when?
Boss,please and always try to leave me out of your attempts to disparage neegas here by boxing them into pigeon holes your have created in your efforts to create narratives that do not exist for some of us.
I asked a simple question. Shud have shut the fak up if you didn't know the answer. Thank you.

But why is it too slow?
That old railway line was not designed for speed all the way from Mombasa.
If the Mombasa - Naivasha SGR project was not such a disaster in financing, we could be asking for a similar railway line.

Despite the slow speed, it will still attract loads of passengers as long as the ticket price is kept reasonable.

But for a business man/ woman it makes no sense.
For an extra 4k on top of the train business class ticket fare, one can be more productive by flying from Wilson airport.
Catch the first morning flight from Nairobi to Kisumu ( after the train has departed for Kisumu).
Attend a 4 hour meeting in a KISUMU CBD hotel, have lunch and after take two Tusker beers, get a taxi to Kisumu airport for a late afternoon return flight to Nairobi. Arrive back in Nairobi ( While those on the train from Nairobi may still be around Chemelil and have not yet at arrived at the Kisumu train station).

Just saying.
