President William Ruto will witness contract signing for Matuga Clinker Line, Nairobi County.
The event will take place at 9 am at State House, Nairobi.
The project in Kwale aims for raw material self-sufficiency for Bamburi's cement production, reducing reliance on expensive imports and lowering production costs.

This development is part of a broader trend in Kenya's cement industry to increase local clinker production capacity and reduce the country's dependence on imports.
