  • Members of Parliament participating in the East Africa Community Parliamentary Games opted to travel to Mombasa via the Standard Gauge Railway instead of flying.

The article from MSN discusses how Members of Parliament (MPs) in Kenya have decided to use the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) instead of flights to travel to Mombasa for parliamentary games as part of an austerity measure to save funds. This decision comes in light of the government's push for cost-cutting measures amid economic challenges. The shift to SGR not only reduces travel expenses but also aligns with the government's broader strategy to promote the use of the railway, which has been underutilized since its launch. This move is seen as both a financial and environmental initiative, reducing the carbon footprint associated with air travel. The MPs' choice reflects a broader trend of public officials adapting to more sustainable and economical travel options during times of fiscal restraint.
