Government spokesman Erick Kiraithe asked Kenyans to appreciate what the China Road and Bridge Corporation has achieved in Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) operations.
Kiraithe said the Kenyan staff, described as being ill-treated, was following an orientation in order to obtain a standard military discipline to run the project.
The China Road and Bridge Corporation has been accused of mistreating Kenyan staff, of having missed a prudent financial management program, of being racist and of not having taken measures to protect wildlife.
He adds, however, that investigations are in progress and that measures will be taken.
On the issue of Chinese personnel handling all "issues" in locomotives, including junior jobs, Kiraithe said that Kenyan SGR employees were to cut a culture of the Chinese train crew that would determine they would be able to run the locomotives.

Defending the death of wildlife, Kiraithe said the animals had not been slaughtered intentionally and that the state was satisfied with the plans put in place to protect Kenyan heritage.
"This aspect has been strongly sensationalized with carcbades of dead animals, the facts are that we are losing a lot more wildlife on our roads," he said.
The Sunday Standard's investigations found a huge contrast between what's happening in public glare and what's actually going on beneath the shiny surface when the Chinese retreat to their apartments and their restaurant.
Interviews with many of those working on trains reveal an unwritten rule about the things that Kenyans can share with their Chinese masters.

Investigations revealed that they did not share tables in the restaurant of their staff. Chinese staff would never sit at the same table as Kenyans and Kenyans should not join their table either.
An badistant locomotive driver says that this line runs toward service vans and even if only one Chinese is on board, Kenyans will not use them when the time comes.
"You can not board a pickup truck that falls on us that night when there is only one Chinese on board, you'll have to wait," he says.
Chinese employees are allowed to smoke in the locomotive and use mobile phones, crimes that will scare off their Kenyan counterparts.
"We do not have toilets in the driving position, so some are relieving themselves on the taxiways," he said.
We saw pictures of one of the drivers, who could not wait to go to the toilet, literally make a long call next to the train in the open air.
But what is likely to alarm environmental advocates and wildlife activists is the number of wild animals that are crushed by the train while it sneaks up between Mombasa and the back
