President William Ruto has asked investors to focus their investment on the African Continent noting that investing in the continent’s future is the best decision they could make now.

Speaking at the Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi during the opening of the Connected Africa Summit 2024, the head of state insisted that the investment also guarantees them immediate and long-term returns and asked those not investing in Africa to relook their strategy.

“I wish to emphasise to the global community, and especially financial institutions and private sector investors that betting on Africa’s future now is the best investment decision with unprecedented immediate and long-term benefits,” President Ruto said.

“I wish somebody was listening to me. Any serious investor who does not have his focus on the African Continent has some correction to make,” Ruto said.

The Head of State added that the continent has worked together to develop policies and regulations, which have become fundamental enablers of Africa’s digital transformation.
