Negotiations are currently underway between the Moroccan phosphates group OCP and Kenya for the setting up of a fertilizer plant in Kisumu, the third largest city in Kenya after Nairobi and Mombasa. In this connection, the head of the Orange Democracy Movement (ODM), the main opposition party in Kenya, Raila Odinga, is currently visiting Morocco to negotiate the project with the OCP group. Raila Odinga held a series of meetings on Friday in Rabat, including with OCP Group CEO Mostafa Terrab, to seal the deal, Kenyan The Standard newspaper reported Saturday. He welcomed plans to install the fertilizer plant, saying that Kisumu’s strategic location as a regional hub should benefit investors. OCP is also carrying out fertilizer projects in Ethiopia and Rwanda.
