Over the past ten years, the Institute of Certified Investment and Financial Analysts (ICIFA) has played a critical role in strengthening professional standards, promoting ethical investment practices, and supporting informed decision making across Kenya’s financial markets.
Through ongoing fiscal reforms, capital markets deepening, and strategic initiatives such as the National Infrastructure Fund and the Sovereign Wealth Fund, the Government is creating structured opportunities for long term investment and private sector participation. Therefore, a strong and credible investment profession remains essential to safeguard savings, enhance investor confidence, and support sustainable economic growth.
As we transition from economic stabilization toward structured capital formation, investment and financial analysts will play an increasingly important role in advisory services, governance, valuation, and monitoring of key national investments and State Corporation reforms.
This evening, I joined investment and financial sector professionals at KASNEB Towers in Nairobi for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Institute of Certified Investment and Financial Analysts (ICIFA), marking a decade of professional excellence, growth, and impact in Kenya’s financial sector.
I congratulate ICIFA on its ten years of outstanding contribution to Kenya’s financial sector and wish the Institute continued success.

Kenya successfully raises USD 1.5 billion (Sh193.8 billion) at lower cost from international markets to pay off part of the 2028 Eurobond ahead of schedule. This prudent move eases pressure on taxpayers, boosts investor confidence, and creates fiscal space to fund key development priorities such as roads, health, and education.
Grateful to H.E. President @WilliamsRuto for visiting the national team @Harambee__Stars this morning and fulfilling his promise - Ksh 1M to every member of the delegation after the win over Morocco.
He’s now raised the stakes:
💰 Ksh 2.5M if we beat Zambia
🏠 + 💰 Ksh 1M & a 2BR house for winning the quarters
🏠 + 💰 Ksh 1M & a 3BR house for winning the semis
Thank you to our players for the hard work and commitment. You continue to unite Kenyans everywhere - on and off the pitch.
President William Ruto has increased his reward for the Harambee Stars, pledging KSh 2.5 million to each player if they win next Sunday’s game against Zambia, and KSh 1 million plus a two-bedroom home under the Affordable Housing Programme, at a location of their choice if they triumph in the quarterfinals.
Today, he met the team to congratulate and motivate them, and honoured his earlier promise by awarding KSh 1 million each to all 27 players and 15 technical bench members, a total of KSh 42 million, following their victory over Morocco yesterday.
