Kitui County has abundant limestone deposits that provide a strong foundation for the establishment of a state-of-the-art cement manufacturing plant. The proposed project seeks to produce high-quality cement for domestic and regional markets, while leveraging cutting-edge technology to ensure energy efficiency, environmental compliance, and consistent product quality. The plant will primarily produce cement for infrastructure, housing, and industrial applications, with potential diversification into specialized cement blends for road construction, marine use, and high-strength projects. The initiative will drive Kenya’s industrialization agenda, reduce dependence on imports, and strengthen the country’s construction value chain. The total investment required is USD 150 million, covering land acquisition, plant construction, machinery procurement, and working capital for the first operational year. The project is expected to deliver strong returns supported by growing cement demand, competitive production costs, and favorable policy frameworks.
