Kenya’s textile industry calls on government to step up support to attract foreign investment

Kenyan textile practitioners said that due to the increasing cost of electricity and unstable supply of raw materials, the Kenyan textile industry has been difficult to attract investment from foreign capital. The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry calls on the government to take measures to increase power supply, stabilize power prices, and provide a good environment for the development of the textile industry. It is understood that in the next step, the Kenyan government is expected to relax restrictions on foreign employees in the textile industry and introduce tax rebate policies to promote the development of the Kenyan textile industry.
