KICC Among 11 State-Owned Entities To Be Privatized

The Kenyan government is set to privatize 11 state-owned entities, including the iconic Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), as part of a broader plan to boost the economy. The move comes just a month after President William Ruto signed into law the Privatization Bill 2023, which grants the National Treasury sweeping powers to sell off state-owned assets.

The other entities to be privatized include Kenya Pipeline Company, Kenya Literature Bureau, National Oil Corporation, Kenya Seed Company, Mwea Rice Mills, Western Kenya Rice Mills, New Kenya Cooperative Creameries, Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers, Rivatex East Africa, and Numerical Machining Complex.

According to Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u, the privatization of these entities is aimed at generating additional revenue for the government, reducing reliance on exchequer support, and attracting private sector capital and expertise.

The government has argued that KICC, which is a major landmark in Nairobi’s skyline, is operating in a competitive market and would benefit from private sector management. Similarly, the Kenya Seed Company, which is a profitable entity, is seen as being ready for private ownership.

Other entities to be privatized include Rivatex East Africa, which is expected to benefit from private sector capital and expertise as Kenya seeks to increase exports under the new African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) trade pact with the United States.

Kenya Pipeline Company, which has a monopoly in the oil pipeline market, is also being privatized due to legal challenges and the government’s desire to introduce competition in the sector.

The privatization of state-owned enterprises in Kenya has had mixed results in the past. Safaricom and KenGen have emerged as success stories, while the privatization of Kenya Railways has resulted in asset losses and mismanagement.

Despite the mixed track record, the government is optimistic that the privatization of these 11 entities will benefit the economy by generating revenue, attracting investment, and improving efficiency.

Threesome saga masterpiece Hopekid and DK surprisingly helped singer Mr Seed meet his wife

Hopekid and DK Kwenye Beat, the men behind an ugly controversial threesome saga that rocked the gospel industry last month, it seems, have also done a few nice love-related things.

According to singer Mr Seed, it’s because of a tag along to the singers that he landed his beautiful wife Nimo Gachuiri. For the first time, Mr Seed has opened about how the two met and surprisingly, DK Kwenye Beat and Hopekid urged Mr Seed to follow them for a concert at KICC where he met Nimo.

Vlog

In their new Vlog, the two reminisced how they met at KICC. They have now dated for six years.

“I was at a show at the KICC and my friend Hopekid said that he was going to visit his friend, so we went and when i got in, i saw a beautiful lady (Nimo)” said Mr Seed.

Well, Hopekid and DK Kwenye Beat have proved to be a deadly combination, especially after a campus lady came out to confess how they forced her into a threesome. Let’s just hope that day at KICC they never misbehaved

Hilarious reactions after architect reveals he was inspired by the shape of a donkey’s penis to come up with the design of KICC

Kenyans online were left in shock after architect revealed he was inspired by the shape of a donkey’s penis to design the most iconic building in the country – Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).

In an interview with Citizen TV, Kenya’s first African Chief Architect David Mutiso explained that founding president was thrilled by the final design of the 28-storey building after rejecting several designs presented to him.

“They wanted to build a headquarter for KANU. We started sketching, initially it was a simple four-storey building, it evolved with time. Every time we showed the President, he asked us to go higher,” said David Mutiso.

Reactions

Kenyans on Twitter quickly poked fun at the icon building following Mutiso’s baffling revelation. See some of the reactions below:
