Sombogo residents in Kisii County have been called upon to stop opposing the construction of the new Sombogo tea factory a subsidiary of Tombe tea factory.
Addressing a press conference in a Kisii hotel, Business development manager of Tombe tea factory Charles Mauti said that the officials on the ground have so far received harsh reception from the local residents who want a tip before the construction begins.
He said the construction will help the residents and more so create employment for them and there was a need for them to ensure that they support the project by all means.
“The government has set aside funds for the same and all we want is the residents to stop opposing the projects and ensure that we see it running in the next few months so that they can start benefiting from it," he added.
He called upon the local leaders also to stop politicking the project as it is set to help the residents more.
