President Uhuru Kenyatta has kept his promise to give the newly-established Kitui County Textile Centre (Kicotec) authority to produce official uniforms for chiefs and their assistants.

The government yesterday supplied Kicotec with the first consignment of 23,400 meters of textile material from the Administration Police Training College to start the production.
