The national government is building three centres in Embu County that will be equipped with machinery to allow self-employed youth to engage in entrepreneurship. Enterprise Development Assistant Director Edward Munoru said yesterday work on the constituency industrial development centres (CIDCs) was progressing well. "The CIDCs were constructed at the constituency level to provide common user facilities for micro and small enterprises, and promote industrial development,” Mr Munoru said. The director was giving a progress report to the County Development Implementation Coordination Committee. He revealed that the Siakago CIDC in Mbeere North had been renovated and equipped with a lathe machine while the Riakanau CIDC in Mbeere South had been renovated but was yet to be equipped. "For the CIDC in Runyenjes, construction work is complete but fencing will start in March this year,” he said. Munoru observed that apart from equipping the centres, the process of operationalising the facilities also involved assisting the beneficiaries to develop technical know-how to operate the machinery. He revealed that youths would soon be able to borrow from a planned Sh1.5 billion fund, at six per cent, to boost their businesses. Source: Standard Media
