It feels great to walk into an investor’s office in a foreign country and find your national flag proudly displayed. 🇰🇪🇨🇳 During my engagement with private sector players in Shanghai, China, we explored opportunities to strengthen investment ties and position Kenya as a strategic gateway to the wider East African region. Such engagements are important in building confidence, fostering partnerships, attracting investment, and creating opportunities for technology transfer, innovation, and sustainable economic growth. Kenya is open for business. The future of Kenya–China cooperation holds immense opportunities for shared prosperity. #KenyaChinaPartnership #InvestInKenya #KonzaTechnopolis #Investment #EastAfrica #Innovation

Had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Dehu Yu, President of Shandong Jianzhu University in China, to explore opportunities for strategic collaboration with the @Kenya_aist . Our discussions focused on potential areas of partnership in artificial intelligence, engineering, research and innovation, faculty and student exchanges, and joint academic programmes. As Kenya-AIST advances its mission to develop world-class scientific and technological talent, partnerships with Chinese universities offer valuable opportunities to strengthen research capacity, promote technology transfer, and translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions for Africa’s development. We look forward to building meaningful partnerships that connect talent, research, and innovation between Kenya and China. #KenyaAIST #KenyaChinaCooperation #ArtificialIntelligence #Engineering #ResearchAndInnovation #HigherEducation

Joined the 3rd China–Africa Green Energy Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation and Talented Young Scientist Program Forum in Jinan, Shandong, China. The forum brought together leading academics, emerging scientists, research institutions, and industry representatives to explore advances in green energy technologies and their industrial applications. Key discussions focused on efficient energy conversion and storage, clean energy and zero-carbon buildings, green and low-carbon fuels, hydrogen technologies, and smart energy systems. Beyond exploring emerging technologies, the forum provided an important platform to strengthen international scientific collaboration, promote knowledge exchange, and identify opportunities to translate research into practical solutions that address real-world challenges. For Africa, these partnerships present significant opportunities to accelerate the green transition, build local scientific and technological capacity, nurture young talent, and develop homegrown innovations that support sustainable industrialisation and climate resilience. The future of green energy depends on connecting scientific discovery with industrial application and strengthening partnerships between Africa and China. #ChinaAfricaCooperation #GreenEnergy #ScienceAndTechnology #Innovation #YoungScientists #CleanEnergy #SustainableDevelopment

Hosted this year’s examination candidates at the @Kenya_aist for an educational exposure visit and academic engagement. We were delighted to welcome learners from: - Mawani Comprehensive School - Kwa Kea Comprehensive School - St. Peter’s Kwa Ndeke Comprehensive School - Musaani Comprehensive School My very best wishes to all candidates as they sit their examinations.

This afternoon, I hosted grassroots leaders from Ukia Ward, Kaiti Constituency after the Mashujaa Day Celebrations for an engagement session, providing an opportunity to celebrate our heroes, and showcase the national government’s development initiatives and ongoing investments in transforming Kenya. We continue to witness phenomenal development by the national government, and remain committed to collectively driving community development.

Building youth talent through football and other sports is important because sports provide young people with opportunities to discover their potential, develop discipline, build teamwork, and pursue meaningful careers. Investing in youth sports is investing in talent, opportunity, and the future of our communities. Hosted the Kaiti Football Extravaganza for exposure, networking and talent development of our youth, and we appreciate the infrastructure by our national government.

Happy Mashujaa Day. We are all heroes.

Today, the Kaiti Football Extravaganza presented a valuable opportunity to nurture and expose the talents of our young people from Kaiti Constituency. The teams included: - Kyambeke FC - Vitale FC - Ukia SB - Kivani FC - Nunguni FC - Kaumoni Allstars This also provided an opportunity to showcase the transformative development projects undertaken by the National Government at Konza Technopolis.

To the Class of 2026, your education has given you a foundation. What you build upon it is now your responsibility. Joint Graduation Ceremony 2026! - Machakos Institute of Technology - MIT Teachers Training College - Kenya Institute of Social Work and Community Development

Today, I graced the joint graduation ceremonies of Machakos Institute of Technology, MIT Teachers Training College, and the Kenya Institute of Social Work and Community Development. We celebrated the hard work, determination, and achievements of the graduands as they marked an important milestone in their academic and professional journeys. We also recognised the sacrifices of parents and guardians, the dedication of trainers and lecturers, and the leadership of the institutions in equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to thrive in the world of work and fulfil their responsibilities as citizens. Congratulations to all the Class of 2026! May this achievement mark the beginning of greater opportunities, meaningful contributions to society, and a future defined by innovation, service, and excellence.

Hiram Ndiritu, alongside JICA experts leading the AFRICA-ai-JAPAN Project, for discussions on potential areas of collaboration. The discussions identified several areas of convergence in engineering and technology where JKUAT and @Kenya_aist can collaborate in research, postgraduate training, innovation and technology development. Such partnerships are critical in strengthening our research capacity, nurturing highly skilled human capital, and translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions to address Kenya’s development challenges. We remain committed to building strategic partnerships that advance science, technology and innovation for sustainable national development.

Engaged with community elders in a consultative session focused on community development, local priorities, and opportunities to improve the livelihoods of our people. Meaningful development begins with listening to the people, building consensus, and working together to create a better future for our communities.
