She said her administration had a deliberate strategy to attract and retain the investors in the county.<\/p>\n

“Your decision to invest in Machakos County is a clear testament that there are numerous business opportunities in the county. This is a clear example of the saying that \u2018action speaks louder than words\u2019,\u201d Ndeti said.<\/p>\n

The governor said economies in African countries are opening and growing fast due to globalisation.<\/p>\n

“Many employment opportunities are emerging daily where enterprises sprout. Being an economic giant in East Africa, Kenya and more importantly Machakos County, appreciate the need to attract investors,” she said.<\/p>\n

County governments embracing investors and supporting infrastructure is in line with the national government\u2019s agenda of accelerating development, Ndeti said.<\/p>\n

Ndeti said her administration was committed to partnering with the national government and the private sector in creating additional employment opportunities for Kenyans.<\/p>\n

She said her administration was progressively designing and implementing policies that attract and boost investors\u2019 confidence.<\/p>\n

“I want to assure all investors both existing and potential ones that my government will do everything within its ability to ensure smooth operations.<\/p>\n

“I wish to encourage investors as well as entrepreneurs to take note on global trends that dictate successful business ventures in the modern world,\u201d Ndeti added.<\/p>\n

She said busi9ness managers of today should aspire to empower the workforce and increase productivity for organizations to succeed.<\/p>\n

Zhang Yijun, Minister Counsellor of the Chines Embassy in Kenya, said there was profound relationships between the two countries.<\/p>\n

“We have seen a lot of projects in Kenya invested by Chinese enterprises. We thank Kenyan authorities for supporting Chinese enterprises,” Yijun said.<\/p>\n

“On the occasion of our market tie, China and Kenya would like to create synergy for our development and develop our people too,” he added.<\/p>\n

Yijun said it was good for players from the two countries to cooperate and exchange with each other to develop further.<\/p>\n
