Ever since Machakos governor Alfred Mutua took office, he has been using the power of words to woo investors to invest in Machakos county.
In fact, Machakos county was the first to organize county investment forum after devolution. Mutua knows the right buttons to touch.
He has been marketing Machakos county as a hub of Information technology, agriculture, industrialisation, healthcare and entertainment.
He has used all advertising media available including televisions, print media, radios and billboards.
Along the main highway to Machakos, billboards reading,'Machakos county, the place to be' are still standing erect up to date.
His sweet tongue has not gone to waste. Machakos county will boast of a fruit processing industry, a leather processing industry, a car assembly industry, a printing media, Machahood film industry among others.
He even went ahead to woo foreign investors. Now with the recently established 'Ukambani professional caucus,' things are bound to change for the better.
