Investment corporation to be launched

It will be a first as the county prepares to launch an investment and development corporation.

The Meru County Investment and Development Corporation is expected to create a friendly climate for investors as well as oversee investment projects.

The launch comes as local and international investors are expected to converge in Meru next week for the second international investment conference.

"In the upcoming conference, the county will showcase investment opportunities in agriculture, infrastructure, energy and tourism," Governor Peter Munya told The Standard.
