Lone Star State keen to do business with Kenya
The American State of Texas has expressed a keen interest in doing business with Kenya.
The Mayor of Dallas, Laura Miller, and Mayor Pro Tem, Don Hill, told the Kenyan ambassador to the US, Mr Peter Ogego, that Texas had a deep interest to develop bilateral trade and investment cooperation with Kenya.
Mr Ogego, who gave a keynote address at a Luncheon organised by the African Chamber of Commerce, invited the business community in Dallas to invest in various sectors of the Kenya economy and take advantage of the opportunities presented by the expansion of the East Africa Community.
In October 2006, Don Hill led a delegation of businesspeople from Dallas, and members of the African chamber of Commerce on a business exploration mission to Kenya. The delegation held meetings with the Minister for Trade, Dr Mukhisa Kituyi, and Nairobi Mayor, Dick Wathika, and signed a memorandum of understanding.
Mr Ogego was accompanied by the Deputy Chief of Mission, Mrs. Lily Sambu, First Counsellor, Mr. James Wakiaga, Commercial Attaché, Mrs. Lina Ochieng and the Immigration Attaché, Ms Felicina Ndwiga.
