The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Naivasha requires Sh4.5 billion to begin operations, according to MPs.

The Parliamentary Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives said lack of funding to address issues of access roads, electricity and water had affected development plans in the 1,000-acre zone.
