The move by the United States to downgrade security threat in Kenya is welcome. It means that investors, especially Americans, can now set up base in the country.
Though it might not be directly related, the country has made positive steps in enhancing security and combating terrorism. And these have paid off.
This has boosted international confidence, as has been seen recently when Kenya moved a notch higher in reports such as the World Bank’s 'Ease of Doing Business' survey. The improvement was credited to reforms in starting business, registering property and protecting investors, among others.
