Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary (PCS) Musalia Mudavadi has reaffirmed the country’s commitment to strengthening its position as a leading financial and investment destination in Africa as Nairobi prepares to host Africa Capital Week 2026 from May 4–8.

The high‑level forum will convene global and regional investors, policymakers, regulators, and business leaders to explore opportunities across key sectors of the Kenyan economy.

On February 25, 2026, Mudavadi disclosed that he had convened a strategic meeting with leaders from the Capital Markets Authority, Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya Vision 2030, Kenya Development Corporation, the National Treasury, and Kenya BioVax to prepare for the continental event.

He emphasized that Kenya is ready to welcome investors, stressing that the government is focused on creating an enabling environment for enterprise growth.

“When global investors gather in Nairobi this May, they are not coming to extract value, they are coming to invest in Kenyan enterprise and fuel our economic growth,” said Mudavadi.
