Notably, Simba Cement acquired Cemtech in 2022 after it had been dormant for a decade, and with this acquisition, the Devki Group of Companies aims to revive the factory and boost economic prospects in West Pokot County.
The anticipated launching of the cement factory is expected to create job opportunities and elevate the economic profile of the region.
In attendance at the meeting were Achaule Robert Komolle, Deputy Governor, and Leonard Kamsait, Chief officer in charge of water natural resources, environment, and climate change.
