Kenya has initiated the extension of lucrative incentives under the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to oil and gas investors, signaling a policy shift that could fast-track the country’s long-delayed oil dream.

The government has proposed changes to the existing laws to bring upstream and midstream petroleum operations under the SEZ regime—a move that would unlock major incentives for investors involved in the exploration, transportation, and storage of petroleum products.
