Kenya: South Korea is cementing its relationship with Kenya, ramping up its social investment projects in the country. Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA) Vice President, Doo Jungsoo, was in the country between August 2 and 7, on an official visit to strengthen trade links with Kenya.
During his stay, Mr Jungsoo made visits to projects that the agency is funding and those that it has earmarked for funding. He visited the upgraded Kitengela Sub-county Hospital in Kajiado County, where he held discussions with Kajiado County Governor, Dr David Nkedianye. In 2008, KOICA Kenya Office granted project aid of $2 million (Sh174 million) on request from the ministry of Public Health and Sanitation for the upgrade of Kitengela Health Centre.
