Kenya's National Assembly approved the government's National Infrastructure Fund bill, which aims to mobilize 5 trillion Kenyan shillings ($38.7 billion) in public and private sector investments into a national infrastructure fund, or NIF, to support the construction of development projects such as transport, energy and digital infrastructure, The Kenya Times reported on March 6. In adopting the legislation, lawmakers passed several amendments aimed at shielding the NIF from political influence, such as by increasing parliamentary oversight of its operations.

The Kenyan government approved the NIF bill in December 2025, but Kenyan courts issued a ruling that same month barring the state from establishing and operationalizing the fund pending legal hearings. The restraining orders were lifted by a Nairobi High Court on March 6 following the passing of the NIF bill. Kenya's gross domestic product stands at around $140 billion in 2025, meaning the fund aims to mobilize more than a quarter of national output.
