By VINCENT ACHUKAMore by this AuthorKenya Railways has won its bid to lift a suspension on the construction of the standard gauge railway on a piece of land in Mombasa. China Roads and Bridge Corporation has been contracted by Kenya Railways to construct the SGR. "We are ultimately satisfied that China Road and Kenya Railways have met the conditions for a stay of execution," Justice Makhandia said in his ruling. The Commission then awarded Africa Gas and Oil Ltd Sh159 million as compensation for the land and Sh360 million for interruption of business. Justice Anne Omollo, sitting at the Land Court in Mombasa, halted the construction only allowing CRBC to move to the site to secure their machinery.
