Cabinet has approved the draft White Paper on National Rail Policy, it notes in a post-Cabinet meeting statement on March 25.

It says the policy will guide in creating an efficient transport system that will be able to compete locally and internationally.

The policy proposes focused interventions that will promote investments in both freight and passenger rail services.

It will also improve rural access and increase mobility to promote economic growth. It will also contribute substantially towards reducing the country’s emissions as it proposes rail genetic technologies in upgrading the rail stock, the statement notes.

The policy will be made public once the Department of Transport has published it in the Government Gazette.
