The Ambassador appealed as he focused on Kenya’s strategic efforts to grow its economy and strengthen regional ties.
“If you have some capital and you want to invest in Kenya, please come to us, and we will facilitate you because Kenya is open for all manner of investment so that we can grow our economy,” Ambassador Ndola stated.
Beyond economic policy, Ambassador Ndola reaffirmed Kenya’s dedication to stability in South Sudan, pledging the nation’s full support for the Tumaini Peace Initiative. This initiative is aimed at achieving sustainable stability and development in the country.
The Ambassador encouraged “collegiality on the implementation of the peace agreement” and applauded the recent high-level meeting shared by H.E. Salva Kiir with political party leaders to finalize the transitional period and prepare for the December general elections.
