NAIROBI, Feb 4 (Reuters) - A private consortium managing the railway line between Kenya and Uganda said on Monday post-election unrest had paralysed traffic on the route, costing it more than 15 million Kenyan ($210,500) shillings a day.

"RVR has suffered extensive losses following the wave of political protests occasioned by the post election violence ... which we've assessed at more than 15 million shillings per day," Roy Puffet, Rift Valley Railways' managing director, told Reuters.
