Kenya MPs Back Tax Waiver for Kemri Research Programme
(NAIROBI, KENYA) - Kenya’s National Assembly has approved tax exemptions on a KES 3 billion ($23.2 million / £17.9 million) Japanese funded research programme at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri). MPs approved the recommendations of the National Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation, clearing the way for implementation of the project aimed at strengthening Kemri’s research. The committee said taxing the Japanese grant would undermine efforts to strengthen medical research in Kenya.

This was the researcher I was in touch with back then. I was on a Gates Foundation funded trip to Kenya and heard about her research – I think it was a cooperation with CDC and KEMRI. That was 2012.

"She didn't leave Africa to be recognized. Africa is where she was made."

In April 2026, the US National Academy of Sciences elected Professor Rosemary Chepkorir Sang — Kenyan virologist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in Nairobi.

She didn't leave Africa to be world-class.

Africa was where she did it.

This is what happens when African institutions — like KEMRI — are given the room to become what they can be.
