Between 2008 and 2010, South Africa took the lion’s share of Sub Saharan Africa’s foreign PEIs at 57% beating Nigeria 15%, Kenya 8% while the other countries in SSA shared 20% of the rest of the spoils.
However Kenya’s regulatory stability, private sector led economy, sophistication of business environment, strong entrepreneurial class and a good supply of human capital are factors that have led to the reduction in South Africa’s dominance of SSA in terms of PEIs.
Nairobi’s quality of life, solid foundation of human capital, efficient transportation links, and a strong community of service providers such as accountants, lawyers, and consultants are also attractive propositions to investors.

They are afraid of being turned into a dumping ground if they sign it.

Quick question,why do we have the balls to open up our market to everyone in a world that economies are being so protective of their own internal capacities ?

Are we more hungry to trade than our counterparts ?
rvp20182:
Who said that..you are that desperate.Kenya companies are all over the continent.Our massive regional expansion started in 90s competing against South Africa juggernaut that was also expanding..yours is barely 10yrs.For many years we have been the main source of foreign investment to East Africa.Ask the TZ idiot here.You expansion to Kenya is nothing but farcical and insignificant.Kenya is free economy that welcome investment worldwide.Just be a little smart about it.We give Nigerians 10yr business Visa if they are investing and free 1 month Visa on arrival if they are visiting.We are suprised you can't sign Free Africa Trade.What sort of giant are you.Nigerians are streaming in to enjoy semblance of a functional systems.

Doubt if they openly show it,the pride. I'll soon visit the country as a tourist. Addis should be cheaper than Nairobi but it should be more congested. It should be exciting nonetheless!

Meeting with Manu Chandaria, given his prominence in the local and international business leadership scene, is a highlight for any upcoming leader and manager. His humility, charm, wit and ability to condense experience obtained over decades into simple sentences make him a joy to listen to, interact and spend time with. He is one of Kenya’s (if not Africa’s) greatest business assets.

KCB have an office in Ethiopia waiting for the right time.
I hope they open up . Its about time they do! Their FDI would multiply incredibly with such a move! They need to open up!
rvp20182:
Why.You need to spur private investment.There is so much your public investment can do.I think Abbiy will surprise many by opening the economy.In any case the tigrays have firm hold of it leaving 95% of Ethiopia outside.

She makes conclusion of everything about Kenya without doing proper research. She just looses it every time!
t1ann:
Every tribe in kenya has cultural festivals
Just search agikikuyu cultural festivals you will get them
Luos are nilotes and they have cultural festivals
Luhyas too they have cultural festivals which involves bull fighting
You need to ask before concluding for yourself

BBC's largest office outside the UK is in Nairobi.CGTN is also headquartered here. We are slowly becoming Africa's epicentre for the Media Industry!

It seems everyone wants to get the Kenyan pie. Iroko TV would really have to fight Viusasa, Netflix and Iflix and not forgetting the juggernaut in YouTube which control Kenya's video streaming business! Thanks to Nairaland,I now know of it(Iroko TV) and I'm not even interested in it because I'm not a nollywood fan! grin
rvp20182:
Iroko TV is crap. Nobody will buy Nollywood anytime soon. Kenya has been there and done that.

BUNI TV (http://buni.tv/) - which I think is one Africa biggest on demand video services (South Africa with likes of Napster excluded) - already trailed blazed - before it was acquired by France's Trace TV.

http://buni.tv/

http://disrupt-africa.com/2016/06/buni-tv-acquired-by-frances-trace-tv/


Buni Media was founded in 2009 as the production vehicle for The XYZ Show, its first television project. Since then it has grown into a multimedia company with offices in Nairobi and Los Angeles.

We also have ViuSASA now trying it's magic.

Meanwhile, Lupita Nyong'os trailer of the movie Us by Jordan Peele who is the producer already looks a big money film. Who is Connie Kabarry?
Daejoyoung:
Kenyan Nollywood actress and producer Connie Kabarry has won two awards in Nigeria.

She won in the categories of Nollywood Pan African Film Maker of The Year (East Africa) and Nollywood Actress Of The Year (East Africa) during the Nollywood Excellence and Leadership Awards (The NELAS) 2018 held in Abuja State on September 30.

Connie had previously said that she passed through hell before she finally got herself in Nollywood, and to where she is today.

She had tried her hand in acting in Kenya but many producers turned her down. But last year she got her break in Nollywood.

“I know so many people are passing through the same because I was getting messages from so many people who wanted me to help them explore their talents,” she said during the launch of her Connie Kabarry Productions in Kisumu a few weeks ago.

She also started Team Connie Kabarry for people interested in the film industry but who have not gotten the opportunity to showcase what they can do.

The members registered so far exceed 58 members. They launched their first movie as a team, The Devil You Know, in Kisumu and Nairobi on September 7 and 8, respectively.

When leaving for the awards on September 28, she had indicated that a lot more was in store, including preparations for a television series which would be a collaboration of Kenyan and Nigerian cast and crew.

I am overwhelmed with what God is doing in my life and I am so grateful for the new Nollywood family that God connected me with… My intention is to introduce as many Kenyans as possible to Nollywood. I can’t wait to see Riverwood and Nollywood working together,” she said.

Connie will jet back into Nairobi at 2am on Friday. Her welcoming party will be at Club Platinum, in Kenya Cinema, Nairobi, from 8pm on Thursday, as her Team Connie Kabarry counts down to her arrival with the awards she bagged.

Connie is the wife of benga musician Dola Kabarry.

Mehn you guys need to wake up and start challenging the whites in order to spur competition that will send them packing.


You need to see black Kenyans crying for lands that were taken over by whites.grin grin grin


What a shame
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m):
Overpriced it is because we have the cash. That SGR itself had to be fenced all the way from Mombasa to Nairobi and then now Naivasha for safety purposes. Look at the SGR scope of works before you lament that we are spending a way lot more cash . Search about the JKIA pride and Simba lounges,that's where the money is going.You don't get the vote of having the best airport for doing nothing.Lastly, it's expensive because we have to pay people better! Quality projects call for more capital!

Most of the monies used by our election body team went to carter for salaries and allowances.We just have to pay people better. Our education budget mainly caters for salaries, research and the improvement of schools and varsity infrastructure. Otherwise, school fees in Kenya is affordable to all Kenyans as both primary and secondary education is free. All Secondary pupils in Kenya are insured of their health. University and college education is heavily funded and no student is left behind. We are using our cash correctly.
Big budgets per capita means quality!

Nothing substantial out if this verbiage!
Nowenuse:
With all these, Kenya slum population is increasing.

Starvation in the midst of peace and abundance is still an annual thing in Kenya.
Why? Because most of the available arable land in Kenya is used for farming tea and flower gardens by Kenyatta & family and other foreigners.

Kenya is still predominantly rural.

There is so much underdevelopment in large parts of Kenya that people still live stone age lives (turkanas, Samburus e.t.c)

People in certain parts of Kenya have to travel hundreds to thousands of kilometres before they can come across any city.

Life in Kenya (a developing country) is still very expensive compared to other developing nations who are even doing better than you guys.

The economy of Kenya is still heavily dominated by foreigners. In a country that is 99% black, the richest people are from the 1% white skinned minority.

Black politicians instead of Black business men are still the richest people in Kenya and these thieves still flaunt their wealth in the faces of the masses.

Kenya cannot still boast of a very powerful entertainment and fashion industry. Your entertainment is still heavily dominate by Nigeria & Tanzania.

Kenyans have been mentally colonized by the Europeans. There is no celebration and promotion of African cultures, African festivals, carnivals, African attires etc. Rather grown up Black African men prefer to celebrate Blanket & tea parties like teenage European girls.

Tribalism is still the order of the day in Kenya in spite of the fact that you guys have a national language (swahili) which should have been used to unite everyone as one just like Tanzania did.
Where were Kenyans when Tanzania united everyone in their nation with swahili and buried tribalism? Yet you guys want to still argue ownership, proficiency and promotion of swahili with Tanzanians.
