The President of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI), Dr. Erick Rutto, this morning paid a courtesy call to the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE), where he was warmly received by FKE Executive Director and CEO, Ms. Jacqueline Mugo.

The high-level meeting focused on deepening collaboration between KNCCI and FKE across key areas of mutual interest, including policy advocacy, labor market reforms, enterprise competitiveness, and the creation of a more enabling environment for employers and entrepreneurs in Kenya.

Ms. Mugo expressed FKE’s commitment to fostering a strategic partnership with KNCCI and invited the Chamber to participate in upcoming FKE-led events. Both institutions emphasized the importance of formalizing their collaboration and agreed to work towards signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The proposed MoU will serve as a framework for joint advocacy efforts with government and parliament, co-implementation of programs, and initiatives aimed at empowering the private sector. Key focus areas include capacity building, employer engagement, and economic empowerment to boost business sustainability and growth.

This meeting underscored the shared vision of KNCCI and FKE to amplify the voice of Kenya’s business community and champion sustainable economic development through effective collaboration.
