He outlined the projects in two stages: the first phase involves roughly 592 kilometers of railway connecting Mombasa to Nairobi, followed by additional sections running from Nairobi to Suswa and Emurutoto.
Sankok also highlighted the remaining 12-kilometer stretch between Emurutoto and Narok town, which he believes is still to be completed.
He expressed his optimism about traveling by train along this proposed route prior to the next polls.
The EALA legislator recalled joining Uhuru on SGR trips from Mombasa to Nairobi during Uhuru's initial term and from Nairobi to Suswa during his second term.
In addition to the railway, Sankok mentioned a variety of projects in Narok, such as the Maasai Mara road, the Narok Referral Hospital, the Kenya Medical Training College, improvements to drainage systems, and the major JICA water project.
He also talked about road enhancements that link various areas of the county, the Ewaso Ngiro leather tannery, and the successful resolution of AFC loans, which he noted led to the return of 1,500 title deeds to members of the Maasai community.
Sankok went on to name several notable Maasai figures who served in high-ranking government positions under Uhuru, including former Cabinet Secretaries Keriako Tobiko and Joseph Nkaissery.
He emphasized that Uhuru favored inaugurating completed projects rather than those still in progress, asserting that the government's effectiveness should be evaluated based on concrete outcomes.
