Our innovative approach to development financing, including the establishment of an Infrastructure Fund, is drawing strong interest from partners. This model will accelerate the realisation of our national development goals. Held talks with the Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation, @Diop_IFC, Washington, D.C., in the United States. We welcome the IFC’s confidence in the proposed Infrastructure Fund and appreciate their interest in investing. We also look forward to hosting an IFC delegation in Kenya early next year, led by the Vice President, Industries, Mohamed Gouled, to advance discussions on energy and infrastructure investment especially the modernisation of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport under the Public Private Partnership model. Other areas of partnership include the expansion of major roads, generation and transmission of geothermal, hydro and wind power.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
