Kenya Railways will start the Sh3.2 billion Kibera and Mukuru slum upgrade and relocation project in January to improve the safety of the Kenya-Uganda rail line and boost train speeds.
The project will see the rail firm secure a 60-metre reserve on the rail line sitting on the twin slums that will displace 9,000 families who reside or carry out business on the reserve.
The families will be accommodated in 3,192 single-room units that will act as homes and trading stalls that will be restricted from the rail line by nine metre high boundary wall that will run on both sides of the rail track. read more at source: http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate+News/Kenya+Railways+Sh3+2+billion+slum+upgrade+starts+Jan/-/539550/1272486/-/9n6wul/-/index.html
