President Uhuru Kenyatta has called for increased trade and investment between Kenya and Ghana in the spirit of Pan-Africanism. He noted that while trade between the two countries continued to record steady growth, there was room to do even better.

“Let us continue to interact with each other so as to forge partnerships that will lead to more business, more skills transfer and complement the magnificent tourism sector that exists in our two countries,” the President said.

President Kenyatta spoke yesterday when he joined President John Dramani Mahama and the people of Ghana in celebrations to mark the Western African nation’s 59th Independence Day anniversary. The reciprocal visit to Ghana by Uhuru follows President Mahama’s visit in 2014 when he also attended celebrations to mark Kenya’s 51st Jamhuri Day.
