Public servants will be barred from conducting business with the government, according to a new law.
President William Ruto on Wednesday assented to the Conflict of Interest Bill, 2025, marking the end of a protracted push and pull between the National Assembly and the Senate.
The law prohibits public officers from offering special treatment, accepting job offers that may influence decisions, or engaging in contracts that present a conflict with their official duties.
Officials are also barred from holding interests in companies that do business with their departments or work in other jobs that interfere with their public responsibilities.
