On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Kenya (‘GoK’), this is to confirm that: 1. As at the date of this letter, the GoK is the legal and beneficial shareholder of 70% of the issued shares in KenGen; 2. Consistent with the provisions of Section 43 of the Energy Act of 2006, GoK wishes to record that it is Government policy to ensure that KenGen operates in a cost effective manner and obtains sufficient revenue streams in order to maintain its financial integrity and to attract capital; 3. It is the Government’s Policy that all exchange differences associated with foreign currency loans taken by KenGen to finance its electricity generation projects are passed on to KPLC under the various Power Purchase Agreements, for onward recovery from consumers of electricity. As such, KenGen does not suffer any exchange losses on repayment of its foreign currency denominated debts. The Government notes and fully supports the electricity generation capacity expansion plan that KenGen is currently undertaking with a view to securing the country’s electricity needs at the least cost. Accordingly, the Government of Kenya wishes to reiterate its continued support to KenGen’s capacity expansion strategy and its active participation in meeting the electricity needs of the country. The Government further appreciates that the proposed Bond Issue will deepen the fixed income securities of the capital markets in Kenya.

  • Mitreeki 2016: Strathmore Business School, March 03-04 2016, Nairobi, Kenya
    Supported by INTEGRATING WOMEN IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Women’s economic empowerment is critical for gender equality and for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. DFID India recognises the value of peer learning and partnerships between developing countries and through its Knowledge Partnership Programme (KPP) managed by IPE Global, hopes to share Indian and global evidence on policies that impact development outcomes for women and girls and support advocacy towards strengthening policy design and implementation. MITREEKI 2016: STRATHMORE BUSINESS SCHOOL, MARCH 03-04 2016, NAIROBI, KENYA BACKGROUND Women make up one half of the world’s human capital and yet women continue to be denied control and access to resources and decision making. Thus, empowering and educating girls and women and leveraging their talent and leadership fully in the global economy, politics and society emerges as the fundamental element of prospering in an ever more competitive world. Women's exclusion from development planning is one of the major reasons of backwardness in an economy as “society that fails its women and girls, ultimately fails itself.” Gender inequality and skewed distribution of assets and power within family, workplace and socio-political institutions are both the cause and consequence of multiple forms of discrimination that tend to reproduce themselves over time and over generations thus having a negative impact on development outcomes. Women’s economic empowerment is critical for gender equality and for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As an indication of global commitment, the UN Secretary-General has set up a first-ever High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, where the Government of UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) is a founding member, to provide thought leadership and mobilise concrete actions to close economic gender gaps and outcomes.
