Various stakeholders including leaders from both national and local governments, and regulatory authorities such as the Agriculture and Food Authority, AFA attended the event. They all recognized the efforts made by Kakuzi Ltd as one of the biggest employers in the region in helping the community in and around Murang’s County.
The deputy County Commissioner indicated that,
“while 80% of Kenyans are small scale farmers, close to 70% of the country is dry and semi-arid, if we have companies like Kakuzi utilizing such land for production, it is welcome for the country’s economic growth, food and social security.”
