“Tatu City is more than just a place; it is a model for the kind of development we want to see across Kenya. It is about creating opportunities, empowering our youth, and building a future that we can all be proud of,” Mudavadi said.
Mudavadi stated that Tatu City is expected to play a significant role in Kenya’s economic future, particularly in empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs.
This, he claimed, was due to its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and favorable investment climate.
Mudavadi focused on youth empowerment during his visit to Tatu City, emphasizing the city’s critical role in creating opportunities for young Kenyans.
During the tour, Mudavadi met with Tatu City’s Executive Management team, led by Stephen Jennings, Rendeavour’s Founder and CEO, and discussed how the city was driving Kenya’s economic transformation.
“The opportunities here are vast. They are key to our mission of empowering the youth, who are the backbone of our nation’s future,” said Mudavadi.
Mudavadi stressed that the Digital Superhighway will create numerous job opportunities for young people, particularly in technology and communication.
“One key area we discussed is the Digital Superhighway initiative. It is part of the government’s broader agenda to integrate technology into various sectors of the economy,” said Mudavadi.
“I am happy that Africa’s largest call center, operated by Call Centre International (CCI) has employed 5000 and is expected to double the number in the near future.”
The Prime Cabinet Secretary also highlighted other industries that will benefit from Tatu City’s growth.
These include agriculture, manufacturing, education, and low-cost housing.
Tatu City is a new city spanning 5,000 acres that includes homes, schools, offices, a shopping district, medical clinics, natural areas, and a sports and entertainment complex.
It also includes a manufacturing area with over 250,000 residents and tens of thousands of day visitors.
