The ease of doing business in the country continues to attract more investors, thereby creating several economic opportunities for the citizens, Kenya Investments Authority chief executive officer (CEO) John Mwendwa has said.
Mwendwa said several investors continued to pitch tents in the country, setting up multi-billion worth of investments in the Special Economic Zones and Export Processing Zones, thus creating jobs.
Speaking during the launch of The Link Warehousing and Logistics Park within Tatu City in Ruiru, Kiambu County, Mwendwa said while some companies were feeling the heat of competition and relocating to other areas, many others were setting up investments in the country. "The notion that some companies are relocating due to a difficult business environment has not had a serious impact on business, as many more others are setting up multibillion investments in the country.
The government is committed to providing a conducive business environment as well as reducing the cost of doing business in the country in order to attract more investors," Mwendwa said.
