Murang'a governor Irungu Kang'ata has said he is hoping to take advantage of the tariff wars between the US and China to attract investments in his county.
Kang'ata said he hopes to attract Chinese investors because of lower tariffs, not just in Murang'a, but in Kenya and Africa as a whole. "Currently, China has the biggest manufacturing sector.
It is the leading manufacturer in the world, but because of the tariffs which are being put up by America, the largest market in the world, that is now incentivising Chinese manufacturing to move out of China and come and set up business here in Africa.
Therefore, Murang'a wants to position itself as the premier choice for Chinese manufacturers." At the same time, the governor said they are looking forward to collaborations with the US to boost the local health sector.
