6,000 Jobs Are Anticipated to Be Offered After the Construction of the New Ksh 11B Steel Factory.
There will soon be more job prospects for Taita Taveta County residents because to the construction of a Ksh11 billion steel processing business in Voi.
An estimated 6,000 locals are anticipated to receive direct employment from the new factory, which is anticipated to become a significant industrial hub and represent a significant development for the area.
The coming of the steel factory will be a ray of hope for the county, which is struggling with high unemployment rates despite its potential as an industrial hub.
The community, the county government, and the federal government will all fairly benefit from this investment, as local officials have already stated with great dedication.
Devki Group chairman Narendra Raval emphasized the value of helping the area’s miners and craftspeople.

Raval highlighted the wider advantages of the factory’s employment of the large youthful population, citing the Gen Z protests that severely disrupted operations throughout the nation.
“Working is undoubtedly beneficial to the nation. The issue facing the nation is not so much with Gen Z per se, but rather with unemployment. If people are working, they don’t have time to protest. We have to focus on generating employment possibilities,” he said.
Taita Taveta Governor Andrew Mwadime made a statement during the signing of the title deed for the factory’s construction. He emphasized that his administration was dedicated to advancing the value addition of minerals, which is a key component of lowering youth unemployment.

As a result, Mwadime demanded legislative backing to protect the interests of local workers as well as investors.
“I want to ask Members of Parliament in Wundanyi, Mwatate, Taveta, and Voi to unite and draft a law that will protect this investor,” Mwadime stated.
The governor emphasized how the factory has the potential to greatly boost the local economy, particularly by generating jobs during the building and operating phases.
Senator Jones Mwaruma, a Taita Taveta County native, promised to supervise the enforcement of legislation to guarantee their observance, with an emphasis on environmental sustainability in particular.
“I will review the laws we enact to ensure they are adhered to,” Mwaruma said.
“The first law to focus on is the Environmental Management and Conservation Act to ensure we conserve our environment while advancing industrial development.”
Local officials are eager to make sure that the advantages of the steel factory project are realized and that the environmental impact is carefully monitored as it moves forward.
For Taita Taveta County, the opening of this facility is a major turning point that could lead to job growth and economic revival for thousands of locals.
