The bold step by govt is informed by the huge imports that now call for such transport systems to be vibrant as they cut costs by 40%compared to road transport.

Uganda Railways operations were contracted to Rift Valley Railways (RVR) in November 2006 in a 25-year concession. Under the deal, RVR was to run the 2,352km Uganda-Kenya railway for freight business and a five-year contract for the passenger unit. But it now appears RVR just lost its concession over the century old metre-gauge railway.

RVR has been carrying 5% of the freight volume which is too low according to the targets spelt in the contract which means the15% more expensive road transport is continuing to move cargo from Mombasa to Kampala.
