Rift Valley Railways, the rail operator tasked by Uganda and Kenya and presently running the narrow-gauge railway system in both countries, from the port of Mombasa via Nairobi to the Ugandan border and on to Kampala, besides a refurbished side route to the Northern Ugandan town of Gulu, has made substantial progress in recent years.
A period of intense shareholder troubles, initially spurred by South Africa’s Sheltam which started the company, eventually led to a near complete takeover by Egypt’s Qalaa Holdings, previously known as Citadel, which now holds 85 percent of the shares after Kenya’s TransCentury sold their shares to them.

WASHINGTON The largest U.S. environmental group has honored Britain s Prince Philip for his worldwide crusading on behalf of conservation causes.
Philip, 62, visiting Washington as president of the World Wildlife Fund, received the International Conservation Award Monday from the 4 million-member National Wildlife Federation.
Advertisement As somebody who spends so much time handing out awards rather than receiving them, it s nice to be on the other side for a change, Philip quipped to a crowd of about 100 people at a reception in his honor.
Among those attending the gathering was Anne Burford, former Environmental Protection Agency administrator, who was forced out of office more than a year ago with the agency engulfed in controversy over allegations of mismanagment, lax enforcement of pollution laws and sweetheart deals with corporate polluters.
