Speaking in Bungoma County on Saturday when he led the 61st Madaraka Day celebrations, Ruto underscored the government’s commitment to developing the leather sub-sector to bolster competitive export industries.
“In this connection, we have committed to implement strategies aimed at increasing incomes from Ksh.15 billion to KSh.120 billion a year, multiplying job opportunities from 17,000 to 100,000 and raising annual footwear production from the current 8 million to 36 million pairs worth Ksh.72 billion by 2027,” said President Ruto.
