John Kamama during an interview with the media on January 5, 2024.
Ever since 1965 the Nakuru Chambers of Commerce has been in the front line, acting as a watchdog and protecting the interest of the business people in Nakuru and the world at large.
According to John Kamama, Vice Chairman of the Nakuru Chambers of Commerce, the Chambers has been active but was slowed down by wrangles within the organisational structure, which have since been sorted out.
Mr Kamama insists that the organisation is still in touch with the issues that affects Nakuru residents, adding that the group will come in handy for the business community of Nakuru.
"In Nakuru, the main challenge that presents itself within the business sector is the issue of the various fees being imposed on businesses operating within the County," he said.
He continues to say that the chambers acts as a go between for the national and county governments and the business people.
"Every country across the world has a chamber of commerce and our main mandate is to create a network for all business persons," he said.
"In other countries, the Chambers of Commerce plays a huge role within the business sector. My vision is that as Nakuru business community, there will be a good working relationship among those in the industries, commerce and many other sectors within the business community," he said.
Mr Kamama says that 3,000 members are active and have renewed their annual membership.
