Report of the committee on communication, trade and investments on the oversight of railway infrastructure development in East African region

Abstract

The Committee on Communications, Trade and Investment held an oversight activity from 12th - 15th December 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya to assess the status of implementation of the Railway infrastructure development in East African Community. As provided for under Article 91 of the Treaty for the establishment of East African Community, the Partner States agreed to establish and maintain co-ordinated railway services that would efficiently connect the Partner states within the Community and, where necessary, to construct additional railway connections. It is against this background that the EALA Committee on Communications, Trade and Investment undertook the oversight activity to assess the status of the railway infrastructure development in the region.
