MPs approve national infrastructure fund bill

The national assembly has now passed the national infrastructure fund bill 2026, paving the way for the establishment of a first-of-a-kind government investment fund in Kenya. The bill, which was approved with significant amendments, now gives parliament and the president more power in the control of the much-publicized 5 trillion fund. The amendments sought to cure concerns that there was too much influence vested in the Treasury Cabinet Secretary, with weak oversight that appeared to bypass parliament.
