What you need to know:

  • About 50 Chinese investors approached Governor Wangamati showing interest in the project.
  • But lack of adequate land had hampered their plans.

Plans to build the first ever multi-billion-shilling industrial park in Bungoma are now in jeopardy after the county government revealed that it lacks land for the project.

Whereas the investors who have shown interest in the development want 200 acres, the county government has less than 100 acres available for the project.
