Kenya will ask firms to reveal their litigation history and anti-corruption oaths before they are contracted for unsolicited public-private partnership (PPP) in the aftermath of the cancellation of Adani's Sh2.7 billion deals and in response to World Bank pressures.

Each firm or a member of a consortium will be required to reveal previous and ongoing legal tussles under the newly proposed Public Private Partnerships (Project Management) Regulations of 2026, which is partly the product of the World Bank push for transparency.
