Kenya President Mwai Kibaki

President Mwai Kibaki, who will be on an official trip to the UK starting July 27 for the official opening of the 2012 Olympics, will host the Kenya Investment Summit at Mansion House in London (the official residence of the Mayor of the City of London) on Tuesday, July 31, 2012.

Dubbed "Kenya at the 30th Olympiad", the one-day forum will highlight the various exciting investment projects in Kenya that are currently underway or planned in the near future and are ready for support, investment and development.

Organized by the Commonwealth Business Council in collaboration with the Government of Kenya and the Lord Mayor of London, the forum will be a unique platform for companies and individuals to interact with top Kenya government and leading private sector officials.

This event will also lead into follow-up projects and activities that will take place at Kenya House in Stratford during the Olympic period (READ: Kenya Diaspora Conference 2012 - London, UK on Jul 28 2012).
