Spent the day hiking Ngong Hills with my colleagues. The breeze, the endless green, and the laughter along the trail made it unforgettable. #Kenya’s landscapes never fail to amaze!
It was a fulfilling and pleasant Mazingira Day, as we planted trees at Mbwajumwali Primary School, in Faza Ward, Lamu County.
Leading my State Department of Investment Promotion staff and Lamu East community, I also educated the community on the importance of tree planting as I engaged the youth on the available growth opportunities, especially the current NYOTA programme.
I took the opportunity to distribute food donated by the government of Kenya to the community to celebrate the day, as we uplift the needy in the society.@GovLeeKinyanjui@StateHouseKenya@Environment_Ke@Forestry__Kenya@Investment_Ke@KenInvest@epzakenya@SEZAuthority_ke@KDC_KE@LamuCountyKe@NYOTA_Kenya

I visited Tatu City this afternoon and was struck by the scale of operations and the thousands of jobs already created for Kenyans. The city now hosts over 100 companies and welcomes 25,000 people daily who live, work, and study within its vibrant ecosystem.
I was Joined by Stephen Jennings, Founder and CEO of Rendeavour, PS Investment Abubakar Hassan, SEZA Board Chair Fred Muteti, CEO Kenneth Chelule, and KenInvest CEO John Mwendwa. We reaffirmed our commitment to driving pro-investment reforms and building sustainable economic hubs.
