This guide provides a clear picture of Kiambu County and presents immense opportunities for investment in the County. It is my belief that this guide will enable readers expand their horizons and knowledge of Kiambu County, while at the same time, being an enabler to the potential investors who wish to make investment decisions. My government is committed to transforming Kiambu County to be the best County in which to Invest in, Live, Grow and Work. This will only be achieved through impacting lives, provision of effective governance and empowerment of the people of Kiambu through stakeholder participation. Towards this end, my government has developed a five Pillar Model approach in the delivery of services to our people, for sustainable development. The five pillar model is anchored on: Security, Employment, Education, Health and Urban Planning. In this guide, you will find precious information on the status of affairs for the Development of Kiambu County and the gaps to be filled by the Private Sector through Public- Private- Partnerships (PPP). It is noted that, Kiambu County is endowed with many natural resources which range from Arable land, Forests, Waterfalls and minerals which are yet to be fully exploited. The County also has enormous strategic potential as a business hub being adjacent to the Capital City of Nairobi. This therefore, means that once you set up base in Kiambu County, you are guaranteed direct access to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, use of the Thika superhighway and the Trans-Atlantic Highway that offers you access to other Counties and major market blocks such as the East African Community (E.A.C) and Common Market for East and Southern Africa (COMESA). It is to be noted that, Kiambu County has attractive investment oppor- tunities in various sectors such as Manufacturing, Health, Agri-busi- ness, Infrastructure and Waste Management among other sectors. Kiambu County is therefore, rife for Investments and the unearthing of the Economic Potentials of the County is within our reach. This is smart business thinking. Investment is critical in the development process of Kiambu County’s economy. This is the main reason why my Government is so assertively marketing Kiambu County to both local and international investors. I reaffirm my government’s commitment and faith in Kiambu’s economic future. You are welcome to join us in the transformation process of Kiambu County to be the Best County In which to Invest in, Live, Grow and Work. H. E. GOV.
