President Uhuru Kenyatta has invited Qatari investors to partner with the Government in the exploration of oil and the generation of natural gas.
Citing Qatar’s demonstrated expertise in the energy sector, President Kenyatta said cooperation between the two countries would accelerate Kenya’s efforts in achieving its energy targets.
President Kenyatta spoke during a meeting with Qatari Energy and Industry Minister, Mohamed Saleh Al Sada in Doha.
The Head of State said Kenya seeks the support of Qatar in energy generation – especially in the supply of petroleum oil and LNG gas – to address the energy deficit the country now faces.
On his part, Qatari Energy and Industry Minister Saleh Al Sada said Qatar was keen on working with Kenya in energy and other sectors of mutual benefit given the conducive business environment created by President Kenyatta’s leadership.
