President William Ruto on Monday November 3, 2025 Broke ground for the construction of the KenGen-Kaishan Olkaria Green Fertiliser Plant in Nakuru County; a defining moment for Kenya’s green industrial transformation.
“This venture is a historic stride for Kenya, and indeed for Africa, as we boldly match our words with tangible action in advancing sustainable manufacturing,” he stated.

It will produce more than 480,000 tonnes of fertiliser annually, ensuring our farmers have a reliable, affordable, and locally produced supply.
“And that is only the beginning. This life-changing initiative will create over 2,000 jobs, cut our import bill by more than KSh60 billion each year, and reinforce Kenya’s place at the forefront of green growth and climate-smart innovation on the continent,” stated President Ruto.
