The government is urging support from industrial players as it rolls out a mapping and geo-location of industries exercise across the Country starting with Nairobi City County.
Dubbed "Mapping, Geo-location of Industries and Development of Industrial Database & Directory for Kenya" the initiative aims at developing a comprehensive industrial database that will provide detailed insights into the state of industrialization in the Country.
This initiative, being jointly undertaken by the State Department for Industry, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and Kenya Industrial Estates, marks a key milestone of the government's broader effort to revitalize and modernize Kenya's industrial sector through evidence-based planning and policy-making.
Principal Secretary for state department of Industry Juma Mukhwana emphasized the need to remain professional during the exercise, urging industrial players to support the initiative by providing accurate information.
