Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan billionaire businessman Julius Mwale met Sierra Leone President Julius M. Bio after a two-week tour of the West African country.<\/p>\n

Mwale is also the founder of Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC).<\/p>\n

Mwale and his delegation were invited to the West African country by the Sierra Leonean President after attending the inauguration of President William Ruto last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur delegation completed a 2-week state investment tour of the Republic of Sierra Leone to discuss the expansion of Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) to the Country,” MMTC said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tour follows the invitation for MMTC by HE President Julius M. Bio of Sierra Leone, following his visit to Kenya this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The delegation was hosted by President Bio and met with government officials, private sector leaders and local community chiefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team will invest in a new smart City as an extension of MMTC with a focus on Agriculture, healthcare, energy, transport and manufacturing sectors,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

This is the third high-level meeting being attended by the tycoon involving African leaders as he seeks to expand MMTC across Africa.<\/p>\n

Early last month, Mwale met President Ruto during the 77th United Nations General Assembly in New York who promised to support the expansion of the city in Kenya.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President pledged full support and thanked Mr Julius Mwale of Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) for investing in Kenya and creating jobs for the youth. Our team congratulated the president for his election,\u201d MMTC said.<\/p>\n

At the Assembly, Mwale also held talks with Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who welcomed the businessman to invest in his country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president welcomed our team to Ghana to expand Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) to Ghana. The talks with the President came after benchmarking visits by Ghanaian delegations at MMTC in early September 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cMMTC team also welcomed Ghanian medical tourists to visit Hamptons hospital for specialized medical treatment via Kenya Airways flights from Accra to Kisumu via Nairobi,\u201d MMTC said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In May this year, Mwale made an entry into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) market where he will be establishing a solar battery manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

Mwale is will be among the key partners who will be undertaking the project in partnership with US firm, KE international.<\/p>\n

The project will seek to power cities in Kenya and the rest of Africa including DRC<\/p>\n

“We are investing in building a 16 Gigawatt (16 terawatt) battery manufacturing plant in the DRC, to help power our smart cities in Kenya and the rest of Africa,” Mwale in a press statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The deal for the project was realized during the Global Conference with world leaders and global executives held in early May.<\/p>\n

The billionaire struck a deal worth Sh684 billion with different financiers and partners towards the realization of the battery plant.<\/p>\n

MMTC is a US $ 2 billion (Ksh200 billion) community-owned sustainable metropolis centred around the currently open Hamptons hospital, located in Butere Sub County of Kakamega County in Kenya.<\/p>\n

Kakamega County residents with NHIF cards are treated without paying extra co-payment charges at Hamptons hospital.<\/p>\n
