Kenya: China Road & Bridge Corporation pleads with court not to suspend railway construction after local claims its activities may harm students' health

"Chinese company urges court not to stop SGR project"

A Chinese firm has pleaded with the court not to stop ongoing construction of the Sh366 billion standard gauge railway (SGR), arguing that it has not trespassed on Kibwezi residents’ land.

China Road and Bridge Corporation says in response to a petition filed by Kibwezi West MP Patrick Musimba that its employees have not trespassed on anyone’s land, and that the firm has only constructed access roads on land that has already been handed over to it by the National Land Commission.
