One promise of the new law that will regulate all NGOs in Kenya – the Public Benefit Organisations Act 2013, is the freedom it gives Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) "to engage in lawful economic activities as long as the income is used to support the public benefit purposes for which the organisation was established" (Section 65).
It lists "income generated from any lawful activities undertaken by the PBO with its property and resources" as one of the sources of income for these organisations.
