The Treasury says the proceeds from the KPC sale will be used to fund priority public services and infrastructure.

The KPC maintains an extensive pipeline network spanning 1,342 kilometres, and in the financial year 2023/24, reported Sh35.4 billion in revenue and a Profit After Tax of Sh6.9 billion, contributing dividends to the National Treasury.
