Several civil groups under the Okoa Uchumi Campaign are demanding that the Kenyan Parliament halt the proposed Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill 2026, citing a lack of adequate public participation and insufficient safeguards.

• The groups argue that the Bill lacks binding safeguards against misuse of reserves, fearing it could become an "election-season cash reserve."
• Key figures include Elvis Wambura, founder and chairperson of Special Interests Group, who stated the Bill should have been preceded by a Sessional paper approved by the National Assembly.
• The civil society organizations insist that the fund's development must follow proper legal and policy processes, linking it to Kenya's national development priorities.
