In 2022, we made a commitment to the people of Kenya: Industrialisation would no longer be concentrated in Nairobi and a few major urban centres. We pledged to bring manufacturing, value addition and jobs closer to farmers, traders, entrepreneurs and young people across the country. Today, that commitment is taking shape with the commissioning of the Kisii County Aggregation and Industrial Park. Across the country, 34 County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs) are being developed, with 15 of them completed. The National Government has invested KSh8.5 billion in the programme. This financial year, we have allocated a further KSh2.5 billion for common-user manufacturing equipment in 17 counties. The construction of the parks is being undertaken jointly by the National and County governments, with each contributing KSh250 million. The Kisii CAIP will unlock the value of the region's agricultural produce, transforming avocados into oil, bananas into flour and other food products, and tea into blended, packaged products for local and international markets.
