Richard Ngatia, the president of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI), has emphasized the necessity for the nation to strengthen economic connections with Europe.
As a representative of Kenya’s business community at the Berlin Energy Transition Debate in Germany, he spoke.
“Kenyans are willing to learn and ready to do business,” he explained.
“There are several opportunities back at home that need to be exploited and we are keen on partners who can invest. They are assured of returns because the market is conducive.”
Present at the meeting was President William Ruto, plus Cabinet Secretaries Davis Chirchir (Energy), Sopian Tuya (Environment and Forestry) Kipchumba Murkomen (Roads, Transport and Public Works) plus Akinwumi Adesina, the African Development Bank Chief Executive.
President Ruto spoke on the urgent need to scale down climate-incompatible funding to free funds for climate action to unlock more concessional finance and lower risk.
