Kenyans have until Friday, August 22, 2025, to submit views on the proposed Privatization Bill, 2025, which aims to revamp the legal framework for privatizing state-owned enterprises. This comes as the government faces mounting pressure to reduce its public debt, which surpassed Kshs. 11 trillion by May this year.

• Deadline for public submission of views: August 22, 2025, for the Privatization Bill, 2025.
• Key entity involved in recent privatization efforts: Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), with Cabinet approval given for its partial privatization.
• Current legal challenge impacting privatization plans: High Court Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued conservatory orders on August 15, halting the sale of KPC shares until a petition challenging the move is heard.
