Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, in conjunction with the national government, has come up with a novel idea. He plans to construct an underground train system from the Central Business District to Eastlands. If successful, this will be the first one in East, West and South Africa. The only countries with metros in Africa are Egypt and Algeria in the North.
