Embu Trade executive David Kariuki has accused traders of engaging in business to while away time rather than to get the benefit. Kariuki expressed concern that most of the traders in the county do not have business acumen. The habit of doing business as if we fear is the reason why we don’t have big businesses. The CEC said most of the big businesses are run by outsiders who are aggressive. Kariuki lamented that from Nairobi to Embu along the highway, all the way one finds very aggressive traders selling commodities produced in their counties but that on entering Embu one does not find such traders but only at Kawanjara in Embu East Sub-county.
