Nakuru County government has tabled a finance bill in the County Assembly seeking to reduce the number of permits required by investors to do business in the County to just a single permit.

Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika said this is meant to help eliminate double taxation and make the entire process less cumbersome and help bring in the much-needed investment in order to create more jobs for the youth in the County.

Kihika said investors have shown interest in the pyrethrum sector, potato, milk, health, apparel, and digital space. In the apparel sector, she said Indian investment companies have shown interest in tapping into the sector in the County that is set to employ over 25,000 jobs in the next five years.
