President Ruto assents to the Privatisation Bill 2023, which aims to speed up the privatisation of non-performing state-owned enterprises. 

The new Bill will repeal the Privatisation Act, 2005, which gives power to the National Treasury to privatise public-owned enterprises without the approvals of Parliament.
