We must equip young professionals to lead the next infrastructural revolution in Kenya

Rose Kananu, MD Howard Aidevo.

Africa is growing, and the bludgeoning infrastructure is evidence that the rise is inevitable. An African Development Bank report projects a growth of 30 per cent for African economies by 2040.

However, there’s a catch. This growth will only be possible if African countries can close the wide infrastructural gaps. Kenya has a significant gap between the need for infrastructure and critical services such as hospitals and our government’s ability to pay for such investments.
