Trade and Industrialisation Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya last week appeared on a local television station to give an update on the government’s Big Four agenda on doubling the country’s manufacturing capacity to 15 per cent of GDP by 2022 from the current eight per cent.

According to CS Munya, the Government is on course in improving the manufacturing sector’s output through several initiatives, including establishing county industrial parks and improving Kenya’s infrastructure to attract foreign manufacturing firms.
