The Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Industrialisation and enterprise development, Dr Wilson Songa, has called on the private sector to work closely with the government to create job opportunities for youth.
While officiating the three-day Vibrant Kenya Expo at the Oshwal religious centre in Westlands, which ended on Monday, the PS called on the private sector to partnersh with government in key areas of such as infrastructure to realise growth. “The government is committed and willing to create a conducive environment for business to thrive. This is can only be achieved if we cooperate for the benefit of our people,” Dr Songa said.
The Expo, which was organised by the Hindu Council of Kenya, attracted more than 150 corporate organisations that were showcasing their innovative products and services to promote trade and social cultural harmony in the country.
Hindu Council of Kenya chairman Nitin Malde said the forum created a platform for the organisations to interact, promote trade and exchange information on products and services they offer to the people. “This meeting has also enabled us to form a special socio-cultural bond among members which was a historical milestone in Kenyan business perspective,” he added.
The Expo, a signature project of the council, provided a unique opportunity to showcase products, culture and services on a single platform. There were free medical checkups. The Expo’s proceeds will go to worthy causes such as relief, welfare, environmental projects, health awareness and education to the needy.
The Hindu Council of Kenya is a non-commercial organisation that serves the Hindu communities in Kenya. It has various branches across the country to help Hindus living in their respective regions.
