Lord Marland was honoured to call upon HE Honourable Musalia Mudavadi, Prime Cabinet Secretary of the Republic of Kenya, ahead of the East and Central Africa Hub Launch on Wednesday in Nairobi. Dr James Mwangi, CEO of Equity Group Holdings was also present as the Chair of the new hub.

Conversations centred around how to encourage Kenya and the wider region to make full use of the “Commonwealth Advantage” which reduces the cost of trade by 21 per cent between Commonwealth nations. The launch of the hub also serves as an opportunity to discuss how Kenya and the region can attract potential investors with technical and financial capabilities. Further deliberations concerned the AfCFTA, Foreign Direct Investment, climate change, green financing, industrialization and the Sustainable Development Goals.
