Here's Kenya's pitch deck to investors in video form. I shared earlier that just six countries drive private capital investment in Africa: Kenya's one of them. And Kenya Investment Authority (InvestKenya) and Ministry of Investments, Trade & Industry, Kenya are now making their most sophisticated pitch yet to global capital. Here's how Kenya sells itself: • The largest economy in East & Central Africa and the 6th largest on the continent • Consistent ~5% annual GDP growth • The gateway to Africa's fastest growing markets • A global leader in renewable energy, with ~93% of electricity generated from green sources • One of the continent's dominant fintech & mobile money hubs • The #1 market for startup funding in Africa • Home to over 300 multinationals and 85% of East Africa's tech startups Some of these claims need context — but Kenya's business environment is real. And it's the result of years spent quietly assembling the infrastructure stack that many African markets are still debating: Green power at scale, functional capital markets, a mature digital ecosystem, special economic zones with real frameworks & benefits, and legal protections investors can rely on. Across Africa, the investment pitch and the infrastructure underpinning it rarely arrive together. When they do, it's more than marketing. It's a market. The question is whether capital is paying attention. — Afridigest Intelligence — real intelligence to win in Africa's growth markets: | Follow Afridigest on LinkedIn & Instagram

“We don’t think that his visit is of any significance in the development of Kenya and the African continent. Unless they are able to commit the pounds, the trillions of pounds to try and heal the wounds they have left in Kenya.” Economic Freedom Fighters Leader Julius Sello Malema

Dangote’s Kenya Refinery Could Shift Power in East Africa For decades, East Africa has depended on fuel refined thousands of kilometers away, leaving the region exposed to global oil shocks, shipping costs, foreign-exchange pressures, and decisions made outside the continent. That is why Dangote’s reported plan to build a 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Kenya matters. If it happens, this will not just be about petrol and diesel. A refinery of that scale could support aviation fuel, petrochemicals, lubricants, plastics feedstock, fertilizer inputs, and other products critical to industrial growth. It could also reduce import dependence, create skilled jobs, support manufacturing and agriculture, and keep more value within the region. Most importantly, it challenges the old economic model in which Africa exports raw materials and imports finished products at a higher cost. East Africa does not only need access to fuel. It needs control over the systems that produce, process, and distribute it. This is what economic sovereignty looks like.

We have visa regulations left, right and centre. Twenty-seven countries in Europe today with 430 million people removed visas. We still have visas. Let me persuade us that it is time we in this continent realise that having visa restrictions amongst ourselves is working against us. When people cannot travel, businesspeople cannot travel, entrepreneurs cannot travel, we all become net losers. I am very happy that now we are moving in the direction of eliminating visas amongst ourselves. Let me say this. As Kenya🇰🇪, by the end of this year, no African will be required to have a visa to come to Kenya. Our children from this continent should not be locked in borders in Europe and also be locked in borders in Africa. ~ Dr. William Samoei Ruto, PhD, President of Kenya. #NoVisas

“Kenya in 2024 has been listed as the third most attractive destination for investment in the world. It is because of what we have done in the past year.” President Ruto takes pride in Kenya's ascendance as a prime investment hub.

We are losing it, Kenyans are not known to be this hurtless, this is not Kenya the hub of Africa! We need to respect humanity & give all people in East Africa an opportunity to thrive in Kenya. Lazy, stupid & bitter peasants are taking advantage of Ruto's directive.

🇰🇪“After its defeat in the Sahel region, France is trying to reposition itself in the East African region ... we don’t want military bases here in Kenya.” PD's Nicholas Mwangi reports from the streets of Nairobi, Kenya, where a demonstration was held against the France-Africa Summit. Progressive groups in Kenya and across the African continent organized a counter summit, criticizing the Macron and Ruto-led summit as an attempt by France to reconfigure its influence and strategic interests in Africa at a time when the Sahel is increasingly slipping from its traditional sphere of control. Tuesday's protest was repressed by Kenyan police who tear gassed the procession and arrested 13 people, including several activists from different parts of the world.

Kenya ignored technology long time ago in most schools. The investment is little to no. Very few institutions give opportunities to young talented people. That's why we rely on international procurement for minor stuffs like speed cameras.

I have been so consistent about Mt Kenya politics. I talked of Mt Kenya East and West. The Eastern region of Mt Kenya is feeling liberated from the Western side. In 2027, you'll see this on ballot. Prof. Kiraitu Murungi spoke about it as well.

The Group Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of Absa Group & Absa Bank, Kenny Fihla, is in town. Kenny Fihla is on a three-day working visit to Kenya & says "this market is very attractive". One of the questions he has challenged Absa staff to ask is whether the bank is "aligned with where the opportunities are" in this market. Just last week, Standard Group's CEO, Sim Tshabalala, was in town (see quoted tweet).

This is not productivity, this is efficiency. It would be productivity if it came with tangible growth in economic activity, growth in the final output that is actually consumed. We would see it in GDP growth as Satya Nadella said. We aren’t currently, but it’s too early. We have many reasons to be optimistic about AI, but we aren’t there yet.

#RutoMustGo There is a small group of people in Kenya who have monopoly over all business in Kenya. Esp, government business. So no money is circulating to the citizens. We need to break down this monopoly and it starts with #RutoMustGo #BungelaGenZ
