Kenya has introduced a new law that changes how trusts are created, registered, managed and monitored.
We have done a deeper analysis of the new law.

Today the NSE had one of its worst days in years.
The NSE All Share Index (NASI) fell 3.38%, wiping out KES 139.63Bn, more than the KES 125Bn lost in the worst Covid-era sell-off.
Why is this happening? Should you panic-sell? Is the bull run over? 🧵
Dear EPRA (@EPRA_KE ) , Kenyans deserve electricity bills they can afford and explanations they can understand.
September’s fuel, forex and water charges alone amount to about Sh4.16 per unit, on top of the base electricity tariff. Consume 100 units and roughly Sh416 goes to those three charges alone.
That burden travels far beyond the token meter. A posho mill needs electricity. So does a bakery, a salon, a welding workshop and the fridge keeping a small trader’s stock fresh.
Expensive power squeezes their earnings and puts pressure on the prices everyone pays. Even households using very little electricity can feel the pain at the shop.
Yes, these charges are lower than August’s. But a reduction does not settle the bigger question: why must keeping a home lit and a small business running remain such a financial struggle?
EPRA must explain what it is doing to challenge avoidable costs and protect consumers. The Energy Ministry must deliver a credible plan for cheaper power. Kenyans cannot build businesses, create jobs and feed families when the cost of simply staying operational keeps swallowing their income.
