Kenya’s Cabinet has reinstated Kenya Pipeline Company in the government’s privatisation programme, approving the sale of a portion of the state’s stake in the fuel-transport utility. The decision clears the way for KPC to be listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, a step officials say is aimed at improving the company’s access to capital and unlocking its commercial potential. Details on the size and timing of the divestiture were not disclosed, but ministers said only a partial stake would be offered, leaving the government with a significant holding. KPC operates the country’s petroleum pipeline network and storage facilities, making it a strategic asset for East Africa’s biggest economy.
