This study uses firm level data to investigate the investment behavior in the Kenyan manufacturing
firms. Using Probit and Tobit regression models the results shows that factors determining the decision to invest

the policy front the paper observes the role of government in the provision of stable macroeconomic policies,
affordable credit and basic infrastructure in order to attract investment in this sector.
