Msambweni MP Feisal Bader has announced plans to push a law that would require investors to contribute part of their profits to local communities.
Speaking at the FKF–Kentaste Beach Soccer finals at Kongo Beach, Diani, on Saturday, September 20, 2025, Bader said investors should legally set aside one to two percent of their annual earnings for community projects.
“Investors earn huge returns from local resources but often fail to give back. I will work with my colleagues to support a bill that makes them contribute directly to the communities they benefit from,” he said. Bader noted that voluntary corporate social responsibility has largely failed.
The MP criticized companies operating in the region for years without investing in education, healthcare, or infrastructure. He added that while jobs and taxes are important, they are not enough to address community needs.
“Communities should see tangible benefits from investors through education sponsorships, health programs, and sports development,” he said.
Bader also encouraged investors to support local talent, especially young people, in areas like sports, arts, and youth empowerment. He believes this would create opportunities and strengthen local development.
The proposed law is expected to ignite debate on balancing business growth with community welfare. By requiring investors to reinvest part of their profits locally, Bader aims to ensure that economic gains benefit the communities that host these businesses.
