The official launch of the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) Makadara Branch in Athi River marks a major milestone in the town’s steady rise as a vibrant commercial and industrial hub. The event, attended by the County Secretary Dr. Muya Ndambuki on behalf of H.E. Governor Wavinya Ndeti, is a strong vote of confidence in Athi River’s growing economic potential and business-friendly environment.
The new branch significantly improves access to financial services for residents, businesses, and investors, bringing banking closer to the people. It is set to play a critical role in supporting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), youth-led ventures, and emerging entrepreneurs by easing access to loans, credit facilities, and other essential financial products.
By expanding its footprint in Athi River, KCB is not only responding to the area’s rapid growth but also partnering with the County Government of Machakos in driving inclusive economic development, entrepreneurship, trade, and job creation. The presence of reliable financial institutions is a key enabler of local enterprise growth and long-term prosperity.
The County Government commends the management and staff of Kenya Commercial Bank for their continued investment in Athi River and for believing in the people and the future of Machakos County. This launch goes beyond opening a banking hall, it represents an investment in livelihoods, ambition, and shared progress.
Indeed, Machakos County remains open for business. Machakos is the place to invest.
