Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has announced that his administration will build industrial parks in all counties. The President said the move will enhance Kenya’s productivity as the nation is prioritising the consolidation, processing, and value addition of agricultural products.<\/p>\n

“The government has stepped up the establishment of five additional export zones in the coming financial year in Sagana, Thika, Njoro, Eldoret, and Busia to complement the one in Athi River,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This is being achieved through the establishment of county aggregation and industrial parks in all the countries,” he added. He spoke during the 60th Madaraka Day celebrations in Embu.<\/p>\n

Ruto said economic zones in Dongo Kundu, Naivasha, and Isiolo will act as further catalysts in attracting domestic and international investments. “We remain firmly committed to continental free trade, and the effective implementation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ruto also said subsidising food production increases jobs and productivity in the country\u2019s biggest employer which is agriculture, adding that enhancing food production is an intervention with multiple fundamental implications.<\/p>\n

“It promotes access to affordable and adequate food and nutrition for the majority. It also increases the food supply, lowers prices, and thus reduces the cost of living,” he said.<\/p>\n

“A significant portion of household budgets goes to food, a major component of the cost of living. Understandably, there has been animated engagement on this subject.”<\/p>\n
