Welcome to the Privatization Commission
Since independence in 1963, Kenya has aimed to boost economic development and citizen participation through the establishment of parastatals.
Over time, reviews revealed inefficiencies and recommended privatization to enhance performance and reduce public sector burdens.
The 1992 Policy Paper initiated significant privatization efforts, leading to improved infrastructure and economic growth.
Today, privatization continues to drive Kenya’s development by fostering a competitive, market-driven economy.
