Kenya needs to retain investors and save jobs

That big industrial companies are shutting down is ironical, given that one agenda in Jubilee’s campaign was creating a million jobs a year.

Eveready, Colgate Palmolive, Johnson and Johnson, and Cadbury have closed down their plants.

Where are the people who have been working for these companies going to get their daily bread?

The closure of these companies has brought a lot of anguish, both at personal and national levels.

Workers no longer have a source of income, while the country’s revenue has declined.

It’s an obligation of any government to create an environment that attracts investors and creates jobs. Having companies close down is a shame.
