Embu, Kenya: Last year, investors signed a memorandum of understanding with the Embu County Government in which they pledged to bring in Sh441 billion in industries ranging from agro-processing, housing, health, education and infrastructure.
However, political wrangles became the order of the day and were best visible through a long-drawn battle to impeach Governor Martin Wambora. Although he got a temporary reprieve by the Court of Appeal and things are looking up, there are worries some investors are no longer interested.
