The government targets to set aside 10 percent of its planned sovereign wealth fund (SWF) for future generations as it races to establish a national investment vehicle through which it will manage windfalls from Kenya’s petroleum and mineral resources.

The proposal is contained in the Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill, 2026, which seeks to create a structured framework for collecting, saving, and investing income generated from the country’s extractive industries.
