Experts Warn Kenya on Gulf Investments

Experts warned Kenya could lose billions in Gulf investment unless it reforms corruption, cuts bureaucracy, and modernizes its business environment. At the Gulf-Africa Investment Summit in Nairobi, stakeholders said outdated systems and graft deterred investors despite the UAE’s $800 million Galana Kulalu irrigation project and a pending $1 billion data center. They called for reforms to build trust, improve efficiency, and unlock opportunities in agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and mining.
