WEST POKOT, Kenya, April 8 – President William Ruto has said that local manufacturing of clinker and steel is saving the country $500 million in foreign exchange that would have otherwise been used to import them.

He also said that such facilities have created job opportunities for locals, as well as an array of business opportunities for entrepreneurs.
