Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago has pledged to ensure hitches that were hampering speedy actualization of the African Economic Zones (AEZ) Pearl River Industrial park at Plateau on the outskirts of Eldoret town are addressed with the seriousness it requires.
Speaking in his office after six Chinese investors paid him a courtesy call on Tuesday, Mandago said his government will create an enabling business environment for the investors to conduct their business.
“Let me assure both local and international investors who are willing to set up industries in the economic zone that they will benefit from water, security, good roads and other infrastructural development from the county and national government,” he said.
The county boss also noted that Eldoret town is set to benefit immensely from the Sh200 billion industrial park in terms of roads, infrastructure, job opportunities and manufacturing once fully operational.
DL group of companies chairman David Lagat who is the brainchild of the multi-billion project said several houses have been constructed at the proposed industrial park site which sits on a 1,770-acre piece of land.
Lagat said so far, six Chinese investors from different companies have expressed their interest in manufacturing, agro-business, energy construction, and electronic sector.
“The six investors are expected to set up at the industrial park in December,” he said.
The billionaire business guru also revealed that they are set to travel to China with governor Mandago to woo more investors to come and set up business at the economic zone in a venture that is poised to spur social and economic growth locally and internationally.
Eldoret, the place to be!
