“I feel proud to stick to my job on the railway artery”

“I feel proud to stick to my job on the railway artery”
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

I was born in the 1990s and became an attendant for the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard
Gauge Railway (SGR) three years ago and later a chief conductor.
I now serve at the dispatching center of the railway operator, mainly responsible for
dispatching the trains, monitoring their operations and providing assistance in
emergencies.
Contracted and built by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), the Mombasa-
Nairobi SGR is the first newly built railway in Kenya in nearly a century.
As an important part of the standard-gauge railway project in Kenya, the Mombasa-
Nairobi SGR has greatly driven economic and social development along the route
since it opened on May 31, 2017.
In 2019, the average attendance rate of the SGR passenger trains reached 95 percent.
Besides, 16 freight trains run on a daily basis along the railway, transporting six
million tons of cargos.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak in Kenya, the country has taken strict safety measures.
Though the SGR suspended its passenger service, it is still transporting freights,
ferrying medical supplies and daily necessities to different parts of Kenya.
To ensure orderly operation of the railway and avoid the risk of infection during the
commute, many Kenyan employees volunteered to station at workplaces.
As the dispatching center is crucial to the safe operation of the railway and has to be
equipped with adequate personnel, I also volunteered to stay.
The company has worked hard to ensure the safety and health of the employees that
chose to stay at workplaces, and provided us with masks, gloves, hand sanitizer,
goggles and other supplies. It was really heartwarming and reassuring.
During this period of time, my colleagues and I worked extra hours with a sense of
duty.
Consilia, head of train drivers, got up at 5 a.m. every day to take the temperature of
on-duty drivers, made sure the trains were disinfected and the employees wore masks
and gloves and washed hands.
I'm inspired by my colleagues’ devotion, and feel proud to stick to my job on the
railway artery during the pandemic.
Nearly 80 percent of the employees working at the operator of the Mombasa-Nairobi

SGR are from Kenya. The Chinese side has shared experience in railway construction
and operation with them and helped them grasp and understand relevant skills and
knowledge in a more comprehensive and professional way, which helps facilitate the
localization of the company and the railway development in Kenya.
Recently, the Chinese side has doubled its training courses for Kenyan employees to
16 every month and enabled each employee to receive training for eight times every
month, up from the original four times.
As I once studied at Shandong Normal University of China and could speak both
fluent Mandarin and English, I volunteered to be a translator in the training courses
and benefited a lot from the courses.
In recent years, China and Kenya have continuously deepened cooperation in railway
construction under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
The first phase of the Nairobi-Malaba SGR, contracted by China Communications
Construction, opened on October 16, 2019 and I witnessed the precious moment on
the first train departing.
As the extension of the Mombasa-Nairobi SGR, the first phase of the railway linking
Nairobi and Malaba has improved the standard gauge railway network of Kenya and
solidified the position of the country as a regional transport and logistics hub.
I hope that railway will bring prosperity and hope to every corner of Kenya after the
pandemic ends.
(The article is based on People’s Daily journalist Lyu Qiang’s interview with
Harrison Kimani, a Kenyan administrator at the dispatching center of the Mombasa-
Nairobi SGR operator.)
