The County Government of Nakuru is using its potential in geothermal energy, agriculture and real estate to strengthen its investment strategies and market itself as the ideal investment destination in the region.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Trade, Tourism, and Cooperatives Stephen Muiruri regretted that Nakuru County was a huge untapped goldmine despite its abundant natural resources, good infrastructure, strategic location and reliable supply of skilled labour, adding that if well exploited, the County would become a favourable destination for both local and international investors.
He said various studies had confirmed that Nakuru County had the most friendly tax regime in the country, coupled with good governance, which he said were ingredients for an ideal investment destination.
The CECM made the remarks during an induction session organised by the Nakuru County Investment Board (NCIB) that focused on strengthening investment strategies and fostering economic growth within the devolved unit.
