The plan to commence large scale production of leather products by City Hall has moved a step closer after the county government handed over Kariokor Leather factory for equipping.
The manufacturing facility will now be equipped by the Kenya Leather Development Council (KLDC) through installation of state-of-the-art machines. Nairobi County trade executive Winfred Gathagu said the upgrade will enable the factory produce local products for sale in the city and across the country.
