Kirinyaga County's Sagana Industrial Park is nearing completion following a positive assessment by a government team. This assessment took place just days after the government ordered that County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs) with over 90% completion be expedited for operation. The park is a flagship project of Governor Anne Waiguru and a crucial part of Kirinyaga's industrialization strategy.
The primary objectives of the park are to foster value addition, generate employment, offer markets for farmers, and minimize post-harvest losses. The multi-agency delegation, led by CECM for Trade Calbert Njeru, assessed the park's progress and pinpointed outstanding infrastructure needs, including electricity, water, all-weather roads, and a bridge.
CECM Njeru expressed hope that the national government would support the county to complete the remaining works and commission the park. King'uru Wahome, leading the technical assessment on behalf of the State Department for Industries, praised Kirinyaga's progress, noting the county has progressed from around 82% to approximately 94% completion in six to seven months.
The assessment also coincided with a benchmarking visit by Nyeri County's Department of Trade and Industries, aiming to learn from Kirinyaga's CAIP implementation experience.
