Privatization Authority

This is the Official X Account for the Privatization Authority. We are charged with implementing Kenya's Privatization Programme.

63 years ago, Kenya took its first real step into self-rule.
Since then, it’s been a journey of building, growing and still showing up for the country we call home. Today is a reminder of that journey, and how much we still have in us to shape what comes next.

Happy Madaraka Day.

Eid is more than a celebration. It is a moment to reflect, give, and come together with the people who matter most.

May this season bring warmth to every home, kindness to every heart, and joy to every gathering.
Eid Mubarak. #ANewDawn

There's no wrong answer here — and that's exactly why we're asking. When public companies transition to private ownership, the debate often centres on two things: what happens to the workforce, and whether services actually improve. Both matter. The question is which one matters most to you — and why.

Tell us in the comments. Your perspective shapes how we communicate about our work.

The PA operates within a framework of overlapping oversight bodies. 
Our board — made up of professionals from finance, law, and industry — reviews and sanctions transactions.

It’s a genuine tension — and one we think about too.
Moving fast unlocks capital and signals to investors that Kenya is serious. Moving carefully protects public assets and builds the kind of institutional trust that lasts. The PA’s position is that both are possible — but only if the process is right from the start.

Where do you stand? Comment A or B — and tell us why. https://t.co/iLO5qP8OTU

The PA's privatisation programme spans multiple sectors — energy, aviation, telecoms, manufacturing and more. Each one carries its own potential and its own complexity.

We're curious: if you had a say, where would you want to see the next major transaction?

Privatisation is not a departure from the idea of public value. It is a commitment to delivering more of it — by opening strategic assets to private capital where performance is visible to every shareholder, every regulator, and every Kenyan with a stake.

The KPC IPO was one step. There are more ahead. Read more about our mandate here: https://t.co/iLO5qP8OTU

Expanded operations need more people. More people means more payroll, more suppliers, more communities with money to spend.

Done right, privatisation isn’t a workforce risk. It’s a workforce opportunity.

One of the most persistent concerns about privatisation is this: does it cost people their jobs?

When a state enterprise is privatised and listed, it typically attracts private capital that funds expansion.

We asked our staff what their mums used to say and what today’s mums are saying, and this is what they shared…

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate mothers across generations for their love, lessons, and unwavering commitment.

Happy Mother’s Day!
