7 choppers deployed to secure train carrying President Uhuru Kenyatta

The madaraka express from Mombasa to Nairobi was escorted by atleast 7 security helicopters as it roared to Nairobi on it's maiden trip. To cap it all, there were officers from the disciplined forces lined up on it's journey. Kennedy Murithi reports on the hectic journey that was the launch of the SGR.

[@jevineklein4561]

[@donelion6459]

In case of anything it makes sense to have KWS and KFS to help deal with wild animals and to direct rescue teams through the wilderness.

[@BitchChocker]

That's just a waste of resources which should have gone 2 the people

[@elly40093]

right who would really want to harm uhuru

[@vicandew8014]

we all know u and al-shabaab want kenyan govt out of somalia.am gld the trip was safe.

[@mama22299]

kweli tu hapa n Kenya c usa

[@jeremyclyde3006]

Obama had like 4 ospray gunners V-22 landing at kenyatta university(look it up) two AC-130 circling nairobi day and night. and the US navy with jet carriers was in mombasa waters. And much more that we civilians did not notice. Even we kenyans could'nt touch him if we wanted to. so dont compare him with obama.

[@pietrojenkins6901]

He should have used even more considering all the high powered delegation that accompanied him.

[@zuhrahalima5987]

jameni rais kenyatta wasiwasi tupu.

[@sammyernest4033]

alafu kenya navy ni wa nini...ama kuna ocean kwa hio train...

[@agollakevin9831]

Sammy Ernest confused state

[@sammyernest4033]

sahi wakenya wamesahau unga...saasa wanataka kupanda SGR train...

[@annea5781]

They are part of the defence forces, trained on land before being trained in water. When they are deployed with the airforce and army to battlefields we don’t hear you ask what they are doing there. The fact that they specialise in a certain branch doesn’t mean they are only capable of doing things related to their specialty

[@safariman29]

Other countries are hailing their presidents and countries developments and here are some useless people who can't even plant a tree on their compound are here yapping over the president and sgr.254 damu.this country is like your mom,you can't disown it,help it improve instead of yapping.

[@RonnieOtieno]

Kenyans, Do you think that the seven choppers were necessary?.

[@kenyanmgtow4900]

FFS, its just a train what's all the fuss about?

[@sammyernest4033]

in tel...saasa angelaunch train ya stima...kenya kungekalika kweli....

[@kenyanmgtow4900]

Sammy Ernest hahaha, if it was an electric train Kenya hakungekalika, plus the day of the launch would be made into a public holiday..

[@lizmellissa7954]

Kenya is still behind I thought it's an electric one😂😂😂

[@kenyanmgtow4900]

Melsa melisa diesel train ndio tunapigiwa kelele hivi, you'd think the country has launched a nuclear powered train!
