The High Court has declared Kenya's Privatisation Act 2025 constitutional, allowing President William Ruto's administration to proceed with the sale of key state-owned enterprises. Justice Bahati Mwamuye dismissed multiple petitions challenging the act, paving the way for the sale of entities like the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC), and Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).

• The ruling by Justice Bahati Mwamuye found that the petitioners failed to prove a constitutional violation, declaring the Privatisation Act 2025 "constitutional and valid in its entirety."
• This decision is a significant victory for Ruto's government, which has been under pressure from civil society groups like Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! and Transparency International Kenya over the privatization agenda.
• The court emphasized that the Act followed meaningful public participation and provides robust safeguards for public assets, despite concerns raised by petitioners about undervaluation and the transfer of strategic national assets.
