Kenya looks to IPO state assets to draw private-sector investments, says President Ruto
Jul 2, 2025 4:41 AM

LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - Kenya is earmarking state

assets for initial public offering in order to bring in more

private sector investment, President William Ruto said in

remarks at the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

The government plans to start with listing the Kenya

Pipeline Company via an initial public offering on the Nairobi

Securities Exchange this year, Ruto said.

"We are committed to a structured, time-sensitive programme

that identifies and prepares a robust pipeline of key government

assets to be privatised through the stock exchange or improved

through private sector participation," he said.

Ruto also said that well-functioning domestic capital

markets could reduce reliance on external debt.
