Mandera Assembly Passes Landmark Investment Authority Bill

By AARAN TV KE Mandera correspondent 


The Mandera County Assembly has passed the Mandera County Investment Authority Bill, 2025, paving the way for a new era of investment-driven growth and economic transformation in the county.

The landmark legislation, approved during this afternoon’s Assembly proceedings, establishes the Mandera County Investment Authority, a dedicated institution tasked with coordinating, promoting, and managing investment opportunities across the county. 

The Bill provides a comprehensive legal and institutional framework aimed at creating a structured, transparent, and investor-friendly environment for both local and international investors.

County leaders hailed the passage of the Bill as a major milestone in Mandera’s development agenda, noting that it will enhance investor confidence and strengthen the county’s capacity to attract strategic partnerships capable of driving sustainable economic growth.

The new law is expected to open doors for increased public-private partnerships, attract high-impact investments, and stimulate economic activity in key sectors. It is also anticipated to create employment opportunities for young people and professionals while accelerating the delivery of critical infrastructure projects.

Members of the County Assembly introduced key amendments to the Bill to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are shared equitably among local communities and that public interests remain safeguarded throughout the investment process.

With the passage of the legislation, Mandera County is positioning itself as an emerging investment destination, ready to compete for regional and international capital while advancing its vision of inclusive and sustainable development.
