Kenya's pursuit of a new funding program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stalled due to the government's delayed response to governance and corruption diagnostics reports.

• The IMF is awaiting formal comments from President William Ruto's administration on a draft report before proceeding.
• Key individuals involved include Abebe Aemro Selassie, Outgoing IMF African Department Director, and President William Ruto.
• This setback occurs as Kenya faces significant debt obligations, with projections showing a repayment of approximately Ksh47.9 billion to the IMF in 2026.
