Wachana wa magari wanaonya kuhusu athari za ujenzi wa reli ya Naivasha-Malaba

Chama cha Wachana wa Magari cha Kenya kimeonya dhidi ya ujenzi wa reli ya Naivasha hadi Kisumu na Malaba, ikisema itahamisha shehena kubwa kutoka barabarani hadi reli, na hivyo kudhoofisha uchumi unaotegemea usafiri wa barabara.

Chama cha Wachana wa Magari cha Kenya (MAK) kili,to kutoa taarifa siku ya Jumatano, Machi 25, 2026, kukiuka dhidi ya mradi wa reli ya Kisasa (SGR) ya awamu ya 2B kutoka Naivasha hadi Kisumu na kisha Malaba. Kulingana na MAK, reli hii itachukua shehena nyingi zinazosafirishwa sasa kwa magari ya mizigo kando ya Ukanda wa Kaskazini, na hivyo kufanya barabara kuwa hazina umuhimu. Hii inaweza kusababisha uchumi kushuka katika miji kama Mai Mahiu, Naivasha, Nakuru, Eldoret na Webuye, ambayo imetegemea trafiki ya magari ya mizigo.
