Five Kenyan clean cooking energy firms are collectively seeking $43 million (Sh5.56 billion) in new funding, despite recent concerns sparked by the collapse of industry peer Koko Networks.

• The companies, including Ignis Innovations and Faith Engineering, are seeking significant investments to scale their operations.
• This funding drive occurs as Kenya pitches $15.5 billion in investment opportunities to global investors.
• The collapse of Koko Networks, reportedly due to regulatory issues concerning carbon credits, has raised questions about business model sustainability and regulatory risks in the sector.
