KBC Opens 2,000 Acres for Leasing in Revenue Diversification Push
Written on
One of Kenya’s largest state-owned corporations is turning idle land into a new income stream. The move could unlock fresh opportunities for investors, manufacturers, and developers seeking large-scale sites.
The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) has opened approximately 2,000 acres of its land for leasing as part of a broader strategy to strengthen revenues beyond its traditional broadcasting business.
