President William Ruto has rejected the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal (Amendment) Bill, 2024, sending it back to Parliament with specific reservations. The President cited concerns that the bill could negatively impact Kenya's investment climate and public procurement framework.

• The Bill, previously approved by the National Assembly and the Senate, has had 17 specific clauses flagged by the President for amendment.
• President William Ruto's primary concern is the bill's definition of foreign and local firms, which he believes is impractical and contradicts the government's economic goals.
• National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula communicated the President's decision and referred the memorandum to the Finance and National Planning Committee for review within a 21-day deadline.
