Machakos County has strengthened its position as a key investment hub following high-level talks with a delegation from Pujiang County, China, during the China (Pujiang) – Kenya (Machakos) Economic and Trade Cooperation Promotion Forum.
Governor Wavinya Ndeti led the Machakos delegation in hosting the Chinese officials, with discussions focusing on expanding collaboration in infrastructure, ICT, innovation, agriculture, healthcare, education, and tourism.
The Pujiang team was led by Liu Xi, County Magistrate of the Pujiang County People’s Government, and Zhu Shunxian, Director of the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office.
Governor Ndeti highlighted the county’s flagship project—the New Machakos City, a 2,200-acre development set to include a Special Economic Zone, light industrial parks, and smart infrastructure. She assured investors of full government support, including access to land and streamlined services.
“Submit your proposals, and we’ll allocate land,” Ndeti told the delegation. “Our city is focused on light industries such as textiles and ICT. We are ready to support your investment journey.”
Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi reaffirmed the county’s investor-friendly stance, emphasizing a secure environment for business growth.
“We invite you to invest in Machakos. The opportunities are vast, and your investments will be safeguarded,” he said.
