Kenya’s Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service, Felix Koskei, has announced fresh steps by the government to roll out the Government Owned Entities Act following a high-level briefing involving the National Treasury and senior officials.

In an update shared on X on Thursday, February 5, 2026, detailing what was discussed, who attended, and what it means for state agencies as the transition begins.

Koskei explained how the process started, saying he had been brought up to speed by Treasury officials on the status of the law and the operationalisation of the government-owned entities act.

“I was briefed by a technical team from the National Treasury on the operationalisation of the Government Owned Entities Act,” part on Felix Koskei’s post on X reads.

He then addressed what the meeting focused on, noting that the discussions centred on how government institutions will adjust and prepare for the new framework without disrupting services.

“Discussions focused on the institutional framework, governance and oversight implications, performance management considerations, and the level of preparedness required across Government to support a seamless transition. Emphasis was placed on systems alignment, capability strengthening, and organisational readiness to ensure effective implementation without service disruption,” part of Felix Koskei’s post reads.

Koskei went on to point to the level of coordination across government departments expected to support the rollout of the Act.

“The meeting was attended by the Principal Secretary for Public Investment and Assets Management, Cyrell Wagunda Odede and other senior government officials,” the head of public Service wrote.
