Kenya's Cabinet has approved the establishment of a National Infrastructure Fund and a Sovereign Wealth Fund, key initiatives for its Sh5 trillion roadmap to become a first-world economy. These funds aim to reduce reliance on borrowing and taxation by mobilizing domestic resources and attracting private capital for long-term economic transformation.

• The National Infrastructure Fund expects every shilling invested to attract up to Sh10 from long-term investors.
• The Sovereign Wealth Fund will manage revenues from mineral and petroleum resources, public investment dividends, and privatization proceeds.
• These funds will finance critical projects across food security, transport, energy, and industrialization, including constructing 50 mega dams and adding 10,000 megawatts of energy.
