Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii has invited Polish investors to explore the county’s vast economic opportunities and forge strategic partnerships to strengthen its position as a leading investment destination in Kenya.
The governor made the appeal when he hosted a Polish delegation led by Anna Bańkowska, Deputy Marshal of the West Pomeranian Region of Poland, during a courtesy visit to the county headquarters. The delegation comprised representatives from 12 Polish companies as well as officials from the Marshal’s Office.
Speaking during the meeting, Governor Bii expressed confidence that the engagement would unlock new opportunities for trade, investment and technology transfer while creating growth prospects for local businesses and accelerating the county’s economic transformation.
He highlighted Uasin Gishu’s strategic location, strong agricultural foundation, expanding urban economy and growing industrial sector as key factors that make the county an attractive destination for investors seeking mutually beneficial partnerships.
The meeting brought together County Executive Committee Members, Chief Officers, directors and other senior county officials, who engaged the visiting delegation on potential areas of collaboration.
What Governor Bii discussed with Polish investors
Discussions centred on investment opportunities across several sectors, including agricultural machinery, fertiliser production, cosmetics, food-processing equipment, railway engineering, cybersecurity and industrial technology.
County officials said the partnership discussions are expected to deepen economic and trade relations between Uasin Gishu and Poland, with both sides exploring how Polish expertise and technologies can support the county’s development agenda.
The county government reiterated its commitment to creating a favourable investment climate through policies and partnerships that promote innovation, modernise agriculture, support industrialisation and expand opportunities for local enterprises.
The visit marks another step in Uasin Gishu’s efforts to attract international investors and position itself as a competitive investment hub, with the county seeking to convert global partnerships into jobs, economic growth and long-term benefits for residents.
