Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan are under pressure to meet their financing obligations for the standard gauge railway (SGR), following this week’s 14th Northern Corridor Projects summit in Nairobi. The pressure comes even as the two countries’ debt obligations continue to rise.
On Tuesday, Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta played host to his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and South Sudans’ presidents’ special envoy, in their new momentum to revive their infrastructure drive agenda.
