During a stakeholder forum in Nairobi, the Public Benefit Organisations Regulatory Authority (PBORA) called for the speedy adoption of the Draft PBO Regulations, 2025.
The forum, part of a nationwide public participation exercise, seeks views on the legal framework to operationalise the long-delayed Public Benefit Organisations Act passed by Parliament in 2013.
