Prime Minister, may I take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for finding time from your busy schedule to grace this important Forum whose theme is Investing Differently in Women. Your presence demonstrates the seriousness with which the Government of Kenya embraces the role of women and participation in the development process and more importantly their role in the financial sector.
May I also heartily thank the New Faces, New Voices Network (NFNV), the Founder Madame Graca Machel and the African Development Bank (AfDB) represented by the President, Dr. Donald Kaberuka for choosing to host the inaugural African Women’s Economic Summit (AWES) in Nairobi. This is a great honour to us in Kenya.
