President William Ruto has confirmed that Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) will be listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) this January, allowing Kenyans to buy shares in one of the country’s most profitable state corporations.
Speaking during an event in West Pokot, the President said the listing is aimed at giving ordinary citizens a direct stake in national assets, while strengthening Kenya’s capital markets.
Ruto urged Kenyans of all income levels to participate, saying the share offer would be accessible even to small-scale investors. He noted that owning shares would enable citizens to benefit from company profits and reinvest in their businesses.
The President said the move is part of a broader plan to unlock value from public assets, improve efficiency in state-owned enterprises and reduce reliance on public borrowing.
KPC plays a strategic role in transporting and storing petroleum products across Kenya and the region. The government has said it will retain a significant stake in the company to safeguard national interests, even as shares are offered to the public.
