Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki says localising the State’s development agenda has made it possible to create entrepreneurship opportunities in agricultural and other sectors.

Presenting his State of the County Address at the County Assembly at Kathwana on Tuesday, Njuki said strategic investments in agriculture, entrepreneurship, digital infrastructure and other departments had paid off, growing the devolved unit’s gross domestic product (GDP) to Sh87.9 billion in 2023, from Sh80.5 billion in 2022.
