Industrial parks key to spurring counties' economic potential

Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo.

The signing of the Intergovernmental Partnership Agreement on November 22 between the ministry and Governors marked a milestone in enhancing collaboration between counties and the national government in realising the CAIPs vision.
