During my engagement with private sector players in Shanghai, China, we explored opportunities to strengthen investment ties and position Kenya as a strategic gateway to the wider East African region.
Such engagements are important in building confidence, fostering partnerships, attracting investment, and creating opportunities for technology transfer, innovation, and sustainable economic growth.
Kenya is open for business. The future of KenyaโChina cooperation holds immense opportunities for shared prosperity.

Had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Dehu Yu, President of Shandong Jianzhu University in China, to explore opportunities for strategic collaboration with the @Kenya_aist .
Our discussions focused on potential areas of partnership in artificial intelligence, engineering, research and innovation, faculty and student exchanges, and joint academic programmes.
As Kenya-AIST advances its mission to develop world-class scientific and technological talent, partnerships with Chinese universities offer valuable opportunities to strengthen research capacity, promote technology transfer, and translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions for Africaโs development.
We look forward to building meaningful partnerships that connect talent, research, and innovation between Kenya and China.

Joined the 3rd ChinaโAfrica Green Energy Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation and Talented Young Scientist Program Forum in Jinan, Shandong, China.
The forum brought together leading academics, emerging scientists, research institutions, and industry representatives to explore advances in green energy technologies and their industrial applications.
Key discussions focused on efficient energy conversion and storage, clean energy and zero-carbon buildings, green and low-carbon fuels, hydrogen technologies, and smart energy systems.
Beyond exploring emerging technologies, the forum provided an important platform to strengthen international scientific collaboration, promote knowledge exchange, and identify opportunities to translate research into practical solutions that address real-world challenges.
For Africa, these partnerships present significant opportunities to accelerate the green transition, build local scientific and technological capacity, nurture young talent, and develop homegrown innovations that support sustainable industrialisation and climate resilience.
The future of green energy depends on connecting scientific discovery with industrial application and strengthening partnerships between Africa and China.

This afternoon, I hosted grassroots leaders from Ukia Ward, Kaiti Constituency after the Mashujaa Day Celebrations for an engagement session, providing an opportunity to celebrate our heroes, and showcase the national governmentโs development initiatives and ongoing investments in transforming Kenya.
We continue to witness phenomenal development by the national government, and remain committed to collectively driving community development.
Building youth talent through football and other sports is important because sports provide young people with opportunities to discover their potential, develop discipline, build teamwork, and pursue meaningful careers.
Investing in youth sports is investing in talent, opportunity, and the future of our communities.
Hosted the Kaiti Football Extravaganza for exposure, networking and talent development of our youth, and we appreciate the infrastructure by our national government.
Today, the Kaiti Football Extravaganza presented a valuable opportunity to nurture and expose the talents of our young people from Kaiti Constituency. The teams included:
- Kyambeke FC
- Vitale FC
- Ukia SB
- Kivani FC
- Nunguni FC

Held a productive engagement with a delegation from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, College of Engineering and Technology, led by Prof. Eng. Hiram Ndiritu, alongside JICA experts leading the AFRICA-ai-JAPAN Project, for discussions on potential areas of collaboration.
The discussions identified several areas of convergence in engineering and technology where JKUAT and @Kenya_aist can collaborate in research, postgraduate training, innovation and technology development.
Such partnerships are critical in strengthening our research capacity, nurturing highly skilled human capital, and translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions to address Kenyaโs development challenges.
We remain committed to building strategic partnerships that advance science, technology and innovation for sustainable national development.
Engaged with community elders in a consultative session focused on community development, local priorities, and opportunities to improve the livelihoods of our people.
Meaningful development begins with listening to the people, building consensus, and working together to create a better future for our communities.
