The government is set to lease Rivatex East Africa to a strategic investor on Friday, ending the search for a new partner to inject fresh capital into the textile company.

President William Ruto announced Wednesday that the Treasury and Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry will facilitate the handover of the State-owned firm to a non-equity investor who has been identified following a tendering process earlier in the year.
