Kenyans Abroad Push for Better Investment Conditions Back Home
Kenyans living abroad are optimistic that the government will enhance the investment climate in the nation.
To entice investments from the diaspora community, the government is committed to creating systems that make it easier for Kenyans living abroad to invest in the country. Head of the Kenya Diaspora Alliance Dr Shem Ochuodho has called on the government to focus on the well-being of Kenyans living overseas, enabling them to make significant investments in their home country. During his address at the 10th Annual Kenya Diaspora Homecoming Convention in Nairobi yesterday, Ochuodho stressed the importance of enhancing the investment climate to attract the diaspora community.
According to Roslyn Njogu, the Principal Secretary of the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, the Kenya Kwanza administration is actively working towards improving the investment environment for Kenyans living abroad. Njogu encourages Kenyans overseas to explore the potential business prospects they can contribute to their home country. Additionally, Njogu acknowledges the concerns raised by Kenyans abroad about the high costs associated with sending money back home.
She affirms that she would include all pertinent players in the diaspora money transfer sector to ensure costs are manageable. For now, the foreign and diaspora ministry is working on implementing measures that could help Kenyans living overseas to search for jobs that complement their skill set. Meanwhile, Ochuodho voices his belief that the actions taken by the government to enhance the quality of life for Kenyans living abroad could improve remittances within the nation.
He highlights the potential of diaspora remittances in revamping the economy during times of financial struggle. The Chairperson stresses the need for a conducive investment climate that would entice Kenyans living abroad to invest in their homeland. The United States Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, has commended the Kenya Diaspora Alliance for organizing the conference and encourages Kenyans overseas to contemplate investing in Kenya.

We will no longer send money to the most corrupt government @Shem! So whatever selfish deals you are making with Ruto, just make sure to invest your money alone! How in your right mind do you move a strong dollar to a dying kenya currency unless you are stupid? Usituletee wewe Achuodho. Don’t be a political whore with a dirty intention to hose Kenyans. Get yourself a day job and get off the high horse of munching on hard working Kenyans in the diaspora. That shit you call yourself chairman of the diaspora nini nini does not exist. Nonsense!

@Achuodho, if the government is not able to pay salaries to Kenyans in Kenya, how do you think that same government will enhance the quality of life of those living in the diaspora? You can lie to Ruto and Njogu but don’t think you can con the people in the diaspora! Wachana na ufala!

Ochuodho is a former MP of Rangwe constituency who was elected in 1997 when corruption in the Moi government left Kenya on its knees economically.
Shem Ochuodho was part and parcel of everything bad in the Moi government. He aided Moi by working closely with the then young Ruto to steal everything in our country’s coffers!
Shem stole every penny allocated to Rangwe and disappeared to America after he was defeated in 2002 to live a life of largesse with poor people’s money while leaving the residents of Rangwe more broke than he found them.
He now is re-emerging to assume the role to help the people in the diaspora to invest in Kenya while as a one term MP, he destroyed Rangwe constituency and its voters! Kenyans beware of a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
The only difference of Shem Ochuodho the MP of Rangwe in 1997 and the current guy is the “Dr” addition to his name. Huyu ni mtu wa pola mali ya wenyewe whether in Rangwe, Homa Bay or in America! Shem has no business representing any body under the Sun! He is a pure CON!

The Diaspora is in serious trouble if guys like Shem Wachuodho are the ones to represent their interests. This man is a total failure in every aspect of the word “FAILURE”! He is interest in making political connections with this rouge Ruto government for his own political future using the hard working people abroad. Open your eyes people and reject this conman. He is a failed old time politician who was involved in every crime eruption machinery during his time as an MP of Homa Bay. She will scum you as you watch with your eyes wide open!
