The Public Benefit Organisations Act, popularly known as the PBO Act, will probably go down in history as the statute that in recent memory has stayed the longest in the freezer after receiving presidential assent.

Enacted in December 2012 and signed into law by the late President Kibaki on January 14, 2013, the PBO Act remained dormant for more than a decade until May 9, 2024, when the Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary declared May 14, 2024, as its commencement date.
