The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Naivasha has received a boost after a Turkish investor committed Sh48 billion towards the construction of five industries in the 1,000-acre property.

Turkish Industry Holding has already signed a lease agreement on the 400 acres it has acquired from SEZ with projections that the industries will be fully operational in five years and create thousands of jobs.
