President Uhuru Kenyatta’s big four agenda has received a major boost after the UK government announced a Ksh 20 billion investment into the agenda’s projects. The announcement was made by UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on his first day of a three day trip to the UK for the education summit which he is co-chairing with UK prime minister Boris Johnson.

During the summit, the President also marketed Nairobi as a preferred investment destination for UK investors and went ahead to list 10 public-private partnership projects that investors could invest in. The projects include: the Nairobi Smart Street Lights Project, the Nairobi Bus Rapid Transport System, intelligent traffic management system, Galana- Kalalu Food Security project, and the Lamu Fishing port project
