President William Ruto announced that over 100,000 small businesses in Kenya will receive a Sh5 billion grant to enhance their operations.

• Sh50,000 will be distributed to 70 small business owners in each of the country’s 1,450 wards.
• World Bank is partnering with the government for this initiative.
• The program aims to support micro and small businesses and is part of the government's broader agenda to empower those at the economic base.

The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) is set to auction imported goods from several top firms and institutions, including Access Bank and Cambridge University Press, due to prolonged port overstay.

• Goods auctioned include items ranging from industrial machinery to medical equipment.
• The auction is part of efforts by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to alleviate port congestion and recover outstanding duties.
• The sale will be conducted on an “as-is, where-is” basis, with auctions scheduled following the provisions of the East African Community Customs Management Act.
