00:00 We make very good progress in so far as continuation of the SGR from where it is in Ayvashia to
00:07 Uganda and we are in very advanced talks with the Ugandan government. As I said earlier,
00:16 we are also in advanced stage in so far as working on a resource model and partnership
00:23 model with the government and private sector to make sure that we raise the resources to
00:30 complete the SGR to Malaba border and thereafter to our border to Uganda and from Uganda now to
00:39 Kampala and hopefully to Congo. But at the moment our effort is to make sure that we
00:45 commence the construction soon. You will be appraised of what we are doing in the fullness
00:51 of time but the progress is on and the journey of taking the SGR to Kenya-Uganda border and
00:58 eventually to Kampala is on.
