Referred to as the Sanduku Investment Initiative, its priority projects will include the Railway City Development, Nairobi International Financial Centre, Kenani Leather Park, Makongeni Modern Suburb among other public-private partnership projects.


The meeting agreed to use a structure agreed on by the Capital Markets Authority and Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) to facilitate investment-grade instruments to be listed on the NSE.
