Local investors and entrepreneurs should be supported to create jobs for the unemployed youth, Garissa Trade executive Adow Jubat has said. Jubat said this will not only boost the economy of the region but will also attract foreign investors. Jubat said the county government will give incentives including free land and exemption of trade fees as a way of encouraging local investors. Given the history of Garissa is mostly associated with insecurity, such investment will boost the image of the county and encourage more local investors, he said. The company that is located in Bula Iftin, 4km from Garissa town specialises in 15 building materials among other products.
