Parliament plans to facilitate Rivatex to gain accreditation for the African Growth and Opportunity (Agoa) in an effort to expand the market for its products following the allocation of Sh600 million to modernise its operations to international requirements.
Trade, Industry and Cooperatives committee says Rivatex has completed the modernisation of most of the key departments and acquired equipment after it received funding from the government and development partners.
