Kenya continues to advance its bold KSh5 trillion rapid national development ambition through deliberate support for transformative public and private investments that align with our shared national goals.
“We will realise our KSh5 trillion rapid national development ambitions through deliberate support for both public and private investment initiatives that align with and advance our shared national goals,” stated President Ruto.
This commitment was reaffirmed in Nairobi with the signing of a KSh32 billion contract between Bamburi Cement PLC and SINOMA-CBMI Construction Co. Ltd for the development of a new clinker production line in Matuga, Kwale County.
According to President William Ruto the project will enhance the delivery of national infrastructure.
“This project will play a critical role in strengthening Kenya’s industrial capacity and supporting the delivery of strategic national infrastructure, including the Affordable Housing Programme,” the President said.
“Further, the project will create meaningful employment opportunities for our young people, stimulate local enterprise and supply chains, and promote balanced regional industrialisation by anchoring manufacturing growth at the Coast,” he added.
Speaking during the signing of the contract, the head of state commended Bamburi Cement and SINOMA-CBI for forging a strong partnership and translating investment intent into tangible action that advances Kenya’s development agenda.
