As an outlay instrument, unlocking investment opportunities in Kajiado will further strengthen the business bond with other African countries.
“We are in the process of establishing special economic zones where we can get investors ready to invest, and in that dimension, we will be able to really define the agriculture sector in this country and in this continent where Kajiado connects with countries like South Africa, Malawi, Botswana, through the border of Namanga and Tarakeh, Mr. Ntele added.
