Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has revealed economic sectors that leaders from the US Chamber of Commerce are keen to invest in in Kenya.

Mudavadi is in the US and has attended a number of high-series meetings, and the latest was with John Murphy, who is the leader of the Chamber of Commerce.

“Kenya offers a dynamic and enabling environment for both local and international investors to thrive.

“In Washington, D.C., I met with senior officials of the US Chamber of Commerce, led by John Murphy, to showcase Kenya’s investment potential. As Africa’s 6th largest economy, Kenya continues to improve the ease of doing business, creating space for investors to achieve their goals.

“Leaders from the Chamber expressed strong interest in sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, ICT, and infrastructure,” Mudavadi said in a statement on X on Friday, May 9, 2025.

Meeting with Rubio

Initially, the Foreign Affairs CS had a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio where strategic collaboration between the two states was discussed.

“Kenya and the United States continue to build on decades of shared values and strategic cooperation.

“In Washington, D.C., I held a high-level meeting with the U.S. Secretary of State, Senator @SecRubio, where we discussed regional peace and security, expanded trade and investment, and deepened diplomatic engagement.

“We emphasized the need to fast-track the Kenya–U.S. Free Trade Agreement. I also briefed the U.S. on the ongoing East African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC)-led peace efforts in the DRC, including the involvement of five Heads of State.

“Sen. Rubio reaffirmed U.S. support for Kenya’s leadership on regional stability, democratic governance, and the Kenya-led MSS Mission in Haiti. He also expressed keen interest in visiting Kenya to further strengthen our strategic partnership,” Mudavadi said.
