The Cabinet has approved wide-reaching reforms that will bring religious institutions and health facilities under closer government oversight and revive efforts to partially privatise the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), a major player in the energy supply chain.

The decisions were made Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting at State House, chaired by President William Ruto. In a dispatch, the presidency described the measures as intended to “safeguard public interest and enhance accountability” in sectors long plagued by regulatory gaps, public mistrust, and political interference.
