At least 50,000 jobs will be created at Kenya Leather Park once the facility becomes operational early next year, the Kenya Leather Development Council (KLDC) has said.

KLDC Chief Executive Officer Dr Issack Noor said the facility, christened Ngozi, currently under construction in Machakos County’s Kinanie area is expected to be opened by early next year to both local and international investors involved in the leather processing business.
