Murang'a county government has encouraged investors to take advantage of listed incentives and establish manufacturing industries and businesses on its land allocated for an industrial park.
During the 1st Murang'a investment conference on Friday, Governor Irungu Kang'ata said the county has set aside 1,300 acres of land to establish an industrial park whose siting is strategically located considering its proximity to Nairobi.
Kang'ata said the land located along Kenol-Thika Highway has been divided to host an Export Processing Zone (EPZ) and a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). "The EPZ has been allocated 500 acres, while the SEZ has 800 acres.
The SEZ will host a Murang'a Medcity, light, medium and heavy industries, a technology and innovation hub, a commercial hub and a market, among others," Kang'ata told the first-day participants of the conference held in a Murang'a hotel.
