Thus, other than starving the manufacturing sector of the much-needed facilitation, the Government has also lost money in the stalled industrial parks. Construction on the industrial park in Machakos County had to be restarted after it was discovered that some of the construction works had been done on unsuitable land. “The project, which was started in 2014, has also been regularly subjected to budget cuts which are often implemented through the supplementary budget. Another industrial park is the Dongo Kundu project, which was started in 2013. For instance, inthe 2019/2020 financial year, the entire budgetary allocation of Sh1.13 billion was cut during the supplementary budget process,” noted the report.
