To create attractive investment opportunities and effectively manage a
privatisation program that attracts private investment, raises revenue,
generates wealth, enhances capital markets, encourages broad participation in
the economy by Kenyans and reduces dependency on government financial resources.
The Privatisation Commission is mandated to formulate, manage and implement the
country’s privatisation programme. The establishment of the Privatisation
Commission in January 2008, following enactment of the Privatisation Act in 2005
and a number of legal and institutional structures established under the Act
constitutes a major reform in the governance of the country’s privatisation
programme.
