Kenya, Japan enhance economic ties with Dongo Kundu investments
Kenya is deepening its partnership with Japan to boost investments at the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Investments, Trade, and Industry Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya announced on Wednesday, August 28, that Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), will enhance infrastructure in the area, focusing on water and road networks. Mvurya said that previous compensation issues had delayed several projects at the SEZ but that these have now been resolved. He noted that two Japanese companies in the automobile industry and one in fish processing are among those setting up operations at the SEZ. The government is also working to expedite a partnership agreement between the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) and Japan.
