President William Ruto signed into law the Privatisation Bill 2023 recently. A key interest of his administration is efficiency and productivity of government-owned entities, and the Privatisation Act 2023 aims to achieve this goal.

There are those who have suggested that instead of privatising the non-performing parastatals, the government should seek competent people from the private sector to run them.
