Kenyans have been angered by a new directive by Kenya Railways banning “alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and cooked food” into their termini and stations. Passengers traveling on the Madaraka Express train will be frisked and any foodstuff or drinks found on them will be confiscated before boarding the train. The statement from KR read:
“Kenya Railways wishes to remind our passengers and customers that alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and cooked food are strictly prohibited into the termini and stations.
“Those items will be confiscated at security checkpoints at the termini and train stations. Please note that items once confiscated will not be repossessed.”
Passengers and customers can however purchase foodstuff and drinks from the cafeterias at their termini or onboard.
So what is the cost of buying foodstuff from the SGR cafeteria?
