A week ago, media personality Caroline Mutoko had posted a video online urging Uhuru not to launch the train under the name SGR but instead get a fancy name for it.

Mutoko, in the video shared by State House Digital Director Dennis Itumbi, said SGR would never be ‘easy on the mouth.’

Itumbi sharing the video was an indication that the President had received the request.
