Recently, two major road projects started in Narok County, Kenya, and President Ruto personally attended the groundbreaking ceremony. This Sinopec Shengli Construction, which has been rooted in the local area for 19 years, has once again gained recognition from the highest level in Kenya. One by one, the livelihood roads are revitalizing the western economy of the area and polishing China's overseas construction business card.

Continued recognition from senior management

Kenyan President Ruto has repeatedly stood up for the Victory Construction Project and appeared on corporate project sites four times in three years. Such high-level recognition is rare in the field of overseas infrastructure in East Africa. In April 2026, Ruto cut the ribbon for three road projects of the company within three days. Attending the groundbreaking ceremony again fully confirms that China Construction has become a core cooperative force in Kenya's infrastructure development. The continuous construction of high-quality local road networks has strengthened the foundation of Kenya's economic development and helped improve the quality and upgrade of regional connectivity.

Deep cultivation yields fruitful results

Sinopec Shengli Construction entered the Kenyan market in 2007 and started with its first aid and renovation project, creating a locally recognized model of friendship road. The Sika Expressway constructed in 2009 won a national engineering award, and several employees were commended by the President of Kenya. After 19 years of deep cultivation in the local area, the enterprise has accumulated over 900 kilometers of road construction. In 2026, it won 16 consecutive road projects, including 7 key projects with a total mileage of 456 kilometers, and its market share and reputation continue to rise.

Expand the diversified development of the bureau

As a professional enterprise in the field of oil and gas engineering, Sinopec Shengli Construction has successfully cultivated the second growth curve of road infrastructure in Kenya based on its solid construction capabilities. Based on mature road construction resources, the enterprise continues to expand into emerging businesses such as water conservancy and new energy, achieving diversified breakthroughs in overseas business. Relying on the zero tariff policy dividends of China and Kenya and the trend of infrastructure investment in Kenya, enterprises continue to deeply cultivate the local market, support the economic takeoff of East Africa with high-quality infrastructure projects, and promote the deepening and implementation of practical cooperation between China and Kenya.
