Japan has offered Sh300 million for Kenya’s inaugural Sustainable Blue Economy conference event after Foreign Affairs CS Monica Juma lobbying for the support to hold the event from her counterpart early October in Tokyo.

The funding is set to close a gap in the amount required for the seminar which adds up to Sh800 million as is provided by the Foreign Affairs ministry.
