The Nakuru Government will provide any support possible for individuals, groups or companies ready to invest in the county, Governor Kinuthia Mbugua has said.
This, he said is the surest way of improving the county’s economic prowess while at the same time creating employment opportunities to young people who form the largest segment of the populace.
Speaking on Saturday in Pipeline when he officiated the opening of Regnol Oil Nakuru Branch, Mbugua expressed confidence in what the county’s future held, saying with such businesses setting up shop in the region, the revenue capacity will double.
According to the governor, his administration will stick to its all-inclusive policy aimed at attracting investors from across the world ready to partner with him in utilising Nakuru’s opportunities in making the livelihoods of its people better.
“Our policy is to make in certain that new investments take off as quickly as possible for the socio-economic welfare of our people,” he said.
He called on security agents to reinforce security especially in the outskirts of the Central Business District where stations have been in the recent past been subjected to theft saying that such incidences were shying away investors.
The governor also revealed that an award scheme will soon be formulated through the county’s Ministry of Trade and Industrialisation that will see the best service delivering stations feted to encourage meaningful competition.
