The implementation of a multibillion-shilling Industrial park project meant to transform the North Rift region into a major commercial hub is set for revival after years of delays due to lack of regulatory approvals.

Uasin Gishu County trade executive Emily Kogos said the Sh200 billion Africa Economic Zones Limited (AEZ) project meant to develop and operate the first private Special Economic Zone in the region had been held up by delayed certification from the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) and Kenya Power, but work will now resume.
