Public Benefit Organisations Act to come into effect tomorrow » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 13 – Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki says the Public Benefit Organizations (PBO) Act tomorrow outlays a comprehensive, consolidated, predictable and transparent framework for the registration and regulation of civil society entities operating in Kenya.

According to Kindiki, the Act whose implementation was frozen for 11 years further expedites the registration process of the entities and reduces chances of whimsical administrative discretion in the registration of PBOs.

He stated that it also closes all windows for arbitrariness and offers a litany of tax and other benefits for registered PBOs.

“An inclusive, participatory and open society is good for Kenya. It fortifies our democratic credentials and buttresses our values for transparent governance,” he indicated in the statement.
