Last week, the Government proclaimed it had created thousands of new jobs in Eldoret after President Uhuru Kenyatta commissioned the renovated Rift Valley Textile Factory (Rivatex).

“The estimated 3,000 direct jobs that this project will generate and the tens of thousands of indirect jobs created in support and ancillary activities will go a long way in boosting not just this region but also our national quest for value addition and increase in manufacturing and jobs under the Big Four Agenda,” President Uhuru Kenyatta said.
