NAROK - Brazilians to invest in county

The Narok County government has partnered with 50 Brazilian companies in a programme that will see multi-billion-shilling factories built in the region.

Governor Samuel ole Tunai who has returned from a tour of Brazil, said his government will offer the Brazilian investors land to put up factories.
The foreigners will also be linked to numerous landowners in the county, he added.

“Some of the investors have expressed interest in setting up a third sugar cane factory in Transmara.

Another team has pledged to build a meat processing factory. The factory will process various meat products,” said Mr Tunai.

Speaking at a media briefing at his office, the governor said they visited several cities in Brazil, where they saw opportunities for collaboration in various areas, including waste management.

He said there was a possibility of twinning towns in Narok County with several willing Brazilian cities.

“We held meetings with the Rio de Janeiro governor on issues such as city management, planning and operations.

The meetings were attended by leading industrialists and investors,” said Mr Tunai.

Animal feeds

Other important places they toured include a factory that produces animal feeds, and food processing industries.

They held discussions with the management of a leading meat processing factory, with a possibility of setting up a similar plant in Narok.

If the investment opportunities are exploited, 4,000 youths will be employed in the next financial year.
