  • New Appointments to Drive Growth at Rift Valley Railways in Kenya, Uganda
    New Appointments to Drive Growth at Rift Valley Railways in Kenya, Uganda The Board of RVR unanimously taps Brown Ondego to take charge of external stakeholder relations and set broad strategy as former Chief Operating Officer Darlan De David assumes duties as CEO; additional appointments strengthen Ugandan management team and stakeholder relations function in Nairobi Nairobi/Kampala (4 November 2012) — The Board of Rift Valley Railways, which holds a 25-year concession to operate the Kenya-Uganda railway, has unanimously voted to appoint Brown Ondego as Executive Vice-Chairman with responsibility for governmental and regulatory relations. Simultaneously, shareholders have appointed former Chief Operating Officer Darlan de David as Chief Executive Officer. Ondego joined RVR in 2008 as Executive Chairman as the original concession agreement stood imperiled. He worked closely with the new shareholders and the regulators to successfully revise the shareholding structure. The two-year project paved the way for a targeted capital expenditure programme of more than USD 300 million to increase volumes and revenues significantly over the next five years and transform the Kenya-Uganda rail concession into a functioning, reliable service for the benefit of the East African people. Ondego, who had been appointed CEO to take on more operational responsibility during the first year of the capex programme, now resumes his original strategic function as Executive Vice-Chairman of the Board, where he will oversee external stakeholder relations in addition to setting the company’s broad strategic priorities. “We have made strong progress at RVR in the past four years, but considerable work remains. I look forward to working with Darlan in the years ahead as we build on a strong track record of accomplishment since 2008,” said RVR Executive Vice Chairman Brown Ondego.

  • Transcentury Limited Sells Stake in Rift Valley Railways to Citadel
    Joint Press Release April 01, 2014 TransCentury Limited Sells Stake in Rift Valley Railways to Citadel Capital Subsidiary Africa Railways Lead investors in the Kenya and Uganda railways agree a transaction that includes the sale of a 34% equity stake from Safari Rail Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nairobi-listed infrastructure company TransCentury Limited, to Africa Railways, a core subsidiary of Citadel Capital Africa Railways, a core subsidiary of leading regional investment company Citadel Capital, has acquired an additional 34% stake in the national rail operator of Kenya and Uganda. The transaction, which was executed yesterday, brings Africa Railways’ total ownership of RVR to 85%, up from 51%, following the acquisition of the entire equity stake held by TransCentury Limited (“TransCentury”) a Nairobi-listed infrastructure company. Since 2010, Citadel Capital and TransCentury have led the replacement of hundreds of kilometers of decrepit track and completed the first phase of the rehabilitation of 500 kilometers of rail that links Kenya with Tororo in Eastern Uganda and Gulu in the north, ending two decades of disuse and inefficiency. The more efficient and dynamic railway is now backed by world-class technology and rehabilitated rolling stock as part of an ongoing reconditioning program. For the first time, the entire network is managed through a state-of- the-art GPS-based control room from the company’s headquarters in Nairobi; moreover, RVR is now moving into a phase that will see it purchase new locomotives, doubling its fleet size in the coming 12 months. In January 2014, TransCentury, the leading infrastructure company in the region, announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Safari Rail Company Limited (“Safari Rail”), had exercised an option that would result in a change of its shareholding in KU Railways Holdings Limited (“KURH”), the lead investor in RVR.

Introduction The Governments of the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Uganda agreed in 2004 to concession their respective railways together. Rift Valley Railways (RVR) signed Concession Agreements in 2006 and Amending Deeds in relation to these agreements in 2010. The agreements and deeds were signed through the respective legal entities, Rift Valley Railways Kenya Ltd. (RVRK) and Rift Valley Railways Uganda Ltd.

  • Why Is Trans-Century in Rift Valley Railways?
    Why is Trans-Century in Rift Valley Railways? A glance at the Port of Mombasa reveals queues of trucks economies it is important to de-congest the roads. Kenya does stretching kilometers long to collect cargo for transport into the not yet have an active plan to significantly upgrade the road from interior of Kenya and other Eastern African countries. Port Mombsa to our Western borders, which should be a priority with through put will continue to increase as: (i) the economies of the or without a functioning railway. Therefore, the logical region continue to grow; (ii) population pressure increases alternative to roads in the region is the railway line. demand for goods and services and (iii) the developing natural resources industries (oil, gas, vermiculite, nickel ore, iron ore, coal ore) need for an export route. These factors are most clearly demonstrated in the plans already underway to increase the capacity at the port of Mombasa by tripling the container handling capacity 1. It should be noted that the Port of Mombasa serves not just Kenya, but also Uganda, Northern Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Eastern DRC and Southern Sudan. Furthermore, once the road connection (currently underway) between Kenya and Ethiopia is complete, Mombasa will also become a potential import/exit Congestion at Gilgil weigh bridge corridor for that neighbour. In the 1980s, the rail hauled upto 4.8 million tones, accounting THE CONCESSION for 2/3rds of the port’s cargo then.

Hussein N. Ndonye* 1, Dr. Emma Anyika* 2, Prof. George Gongera*3 1.MBA candidate, School of Business& Economics, Mount Kenya University 2.Associate Dean& Senior Lecturer, School of Business& Economics, Mount Kenya University 3.Dean Faculty of Cooperative& Community Development, The Cooperative University College of Kenya. ABSTRACT Nations worldwide face fiscal constraints resulting to infrastructure deficits. Kenya, like most of others has increasingly turned to PPP to cover infrastructure gap. PPPs encourage private initiative and benefit from the involvement of the private sector particularly in the designing, building, financing, operating and maintenance of infrastructure projects. Different types of PPPs have been practiced in worldwide infrastructure development with diverse results and a variety of problems have been encountered. As an urgent need to establish the strategies best suited to improve practices in future PPP projects and the performance of existing ones, as an important step toward the development of such a protocol this study set out to evaluate the PPP strategies deemed to have the highest impact on SSA railways on the performance of RVR concession in Kenya. It is based on Johnson and Scholes (1993) model of strategy evaluation i.e. suitability, acceptability and feasibility. The package contained four strategies; namely, Risk Allocation Strategy, Sound Finance Strategy, Strong Consortium Strategy and Technology Strategy. By employing descriptive research design, the study survey realized response rate was 76% and deemed viable for analysis.
