President William Ruto on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, chaired a cabinet meeting that approved the merger of 42 state corporations into 20 entities.

A dispatch shared after the Cabinet meeting at the Kakamega State Lodge stated this is in line with the commitment to streamline government operations and reduce waste.

Hello and welcome to today’s edition of The Business Roundup.

Subscribe today and stay updated on top news stories in The Kenya Times Business Roundup. The Roundup presents a compilation of business stories that hit headlines throughout the week to keep you informed.

42 Corporations Merged, Kplc Shares &Amp; Cmc Motors Shuts Down

The reforms include merging 42 State Corporations with overlapping or related mandates into 20 entities to improve operational efficiency and eliminate redundancy.

“Forty-two (42) State Corporations with duplicating, overlapping or related mandates are proposed for mergers to form twenty (20) entities,” read the dispatch in part.

42 Corporations merged

Additionally, four public funds currently classified as State Corporations will be declassified and returned to the relevant ministries with a strengthened governance framework.

The Cabinet resolved that all professional organizations currently categorized as State Corporations will also be declassified and will no longer receive government budgetary allocations.

At the same time, nine State Corporations will be dissolved, and their functions transferred to relevant ministries or other State entities, while 16 corporations with outdated functions that can be provided by the private sector will be divested or dissolved.

Six State Corporations will undergo restructuring to better align their mandates and enhance performance.

Fate of Employees of the Disbanded Corporations

In a subsequent statement, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed on Wednesday revealed that no employee will lose a job because of the merger or dissolution.

Mohamed said all the affected employees will be reemployed in the Public Service.

What he said:

“No State Corporation function will be lost, and no jobs will be lost as all affected employees will be absorbed into the Public Service. This is in line with the commitment to streamline government operations, reduce waste, and curb excesses. The reforms will address operational and financial inefficiencies, enhance service delivery, and reduce reliance on the Exchequer.”

Kenya Power Shares

The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) on Wednesday January 8 announced an impressive 367% increase in its share price.

In a statement, the utility company highlighted this significant surge at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), with its shares rising from Ksh1.38 in December 2023 to Ksh6.44 as of Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

“Our Managing Director and CEO, Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror, promised a transformation in the company’s share price and shareholder value a year ago.

This promise has been fulfilled with a remarkable 367% increase, lifting the share price at the NSE from Ksh 1.38 in December 2023 to Ksh 6.44 as of yesterday,” the statement read.

According to KPLC, this impressive performance is largely due to a turnaround strategy implemented under the leadership of the Board of Directors and state.

“This impressive performance is largely driven by a turnaround strategy that the Company has been implementing under the leadership of the Board of Directors and with support from the Government of Kenya,” read the statement.

Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro, one of KPLC’s majority shareholders, saw the value of his stake in the lighting company jump to Ksh210 million from Ksh33 million six months ago after the stock’s recent rally of more than 300 percent.

As of January 22, 2025, the current share price of Kenya Power was Ksh6.50, reflecting a 1.52% loss over its previous closing price of Ksh6.60 on the last trading day.

Prior to the increase in its share price, KPLC had reported a net profit of Ksh30 billion for the financial year 2023/24, attributed to several factors.
