Bamburi Cement says it has earned KES1bn (US$9.8m) from supply of cement to the standard gauge railway (SGR) contractor, China Road and Bridges Corp (CRBC).
The cement maker is among local firms contracted by a Chinese contractor to supply materials for the KES327bn project.
?The SGR contract has increased our production by 10 per cent to more than 2Mta,?said the company?s commercial director, Geoffrey Ndugwa.
The project is intended to connect the port city of Mombasa with a high-speed railway line to Nairobi, running onwards to Kampala, Uganda, with spurs to Burundi and Juba, South Sudan.
