@C_NyaKundiH Poor crisis communication skills. Crisis Communication Lesson 101; if you're an airline and your aircraft crashes, your first statement is not hullabaloo about your"great" safe record. This hotel could have first, acknowledged and apologised for the shameful behaviour of the GM

Peanut's value chain is a good import substitution investment opportunity. Kenya imports 80% of peanuts imports to the East Africa Region, yet we have the potential to grow the crop due to our good soil and climate conditions. Together with PS Mangeni and CEO KAM, Antony Mwangi, we visited Greenforest Peanuts ( a Kenyan SME that imports peanuts from Malawi for value addition), under the leadership of its CEO, Mr. Matheka to explore ways in which we can encourage our farmers to grow peanuts and Greenforest be an off-taker.@Waziri_Mvurya @HonSusanMangen1 @Greenforestke @StateHouseKenya @SpokespersonGoK @_CEOKAM

KAM remains steadfast in its efforts to engage government on how to create a conducive environment for businesses to thrive and stay competitive.

Today, KAM Chief Executive, Anthony Mwangi alongside the Principal Secretary, State Department for Investments, Abubakar Hassan Abubakar, visited one of our members, PG Bison, to engage in discussions and gain insights into the challenges encountered by the company and the broader timber sector.

During our discussions, we thoroughly explored the challenges encountered by PG Bison and the wood and furniture sub-sectors. In-depth conversations were held, covering various issues such as the introduction of a 25% excise duty on PVC and paper products, along with an Export Development Levy on construction raw materials. Additionally, duties on particleboard (PB) and Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) were increased from 25% to 35%. These excise taxes have significantly impacted production costs, leading to a price increase in locally manufactured furniture.

We also explored potential solutions to address these challenges, recognizing the significance of collaborative efforts. The unwavering commitment demonstrated by the Principal Secretary reassures us that positive changes are on the horizon. KAM remains dedicated to its advocacy efforts, fostering a vibrant and competitive business environment in collaboration with the government.

Kenya is co-hosting the inaugural Africa Climate Summit (ACS) with the African Union Commission (AUC) from the 4th to 6th September 2023.

The theme of the Summit, “Green Growth and Climate Finance for Africa and the World,’ dovetails well with the agenda of KAM, which is anchored under the Centre for Energy Efficiency and Conservation (CEEC) and Centre for Green Growth and Climate Change (CGGCC). Indeed, the Association is leading the conversation on the transition to green manufacturing.

While there are many definitions of green manufacturing, we have defined the concept simply as the continuous improvement of efficiency and productivity in the manufacturing sector whilst minimizing the impact on the environment.
