Kweneng Ventures strikes Kenyan tea import deal

In an interview with BusinessWeek, KDC Chairman Jeffrey Sibisibi said council delegates would be traveling to Nyeri in two weeks time, to finalise the agreement.  “When they return from the trip, we will be able to tell how much tea we will get from the Nyeri county. We intend to buy processed tea in bulk from them and then package and distribute it locally,” he said.  Sibisibi said this would be their way of empowering the community their district, thus creating employment.

He added that they also plan to open a warehouse in the Kweneng district.  According to Sibisibi, the KDCouncil will fund this initiative as they have a major aim of empowering the Kweneng community while generating profits.
