Speaker Muturi In Serbia To Look For FDIs

The National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has urged Serbian investors to take advantage of the government’s current focus on food security, manufacturing and universal Health Care, all areas which Serbia specialises on and go to business with the country.

Speaking during a meet with the Serbian National Chamber of Commerce, Muturi told the serbian businessmen to take advantage of  Kenya’s good relationship with Serbia and make a direct investment in the country.

He advised the businessmen to take the leap of faith which the two countries have not been doing in the past leading to huge investment opportunities lost.

“Trade between Kenya and Serbia has remained minimal despite our traditionally very cordial relations. I am therefore glad that we’re having this meeting, and I wish to extend an invitation to you to consider making a direct investment in our country,” he said.

ICT representatives who were in attendance expressed their interest in supporting Kenya develop a Data Protection regulatory framework. Serbia boasts of thriving in data management and biometrics.

Muturi had been tasked with convincing the Serbian businessmen that Kenya is good game given the incentives the country is offering to investors who choose to set up industries in Special Economic Zones and the Export Processing Zones.

The visit to Belgrade follows the speaker of the National Assembly of Serbia, H.E. Maja Gojkovic’s visit to Nairobi perhaps suggesting flourishing ties between the two countries.
