Machakos governor Alfred Mutua has officially given a green light for the development of Machakos Investment Promotion online portal.
Speaking on Tuesday in his Mavoko sub-county office, the governor said the online portal will play a critical role in linking Machakos county to potential investors, both local and foreign who wish to invest in key sectors including Tourism, Agriculture, Mining, or any other sector.
"I have signed off the System Requirement Specification and strategy and given the group a go-ahead to work towards finalising the project by September 2016," Mutua said.
"The project will go a long way in growing the county's economy essentially transforming the lives of our people," he added.
The portal is reportedly being developed by the Machakos County Government in partnership with The World Bank Group and Outside The Box (OTB)- a software developing company.
