Ruto Signs Kenya's First Sovereign Wealth Fund into Law


The Sovereign Wealth Fund Act establishes three funds: a Stabilisation Fund for economic shocks, a Strategic Infrastructure Fund for development projects, and the Urithi Fund receiving 30 percent of mineral and petroleum revenues.

 Ruto compared it to Norway's massive fund, saying Kenya can become a first-world nation in one generation as oil production ramps up in Turkana by late 2026.

While leaders praise it as a major step toward self-reliance, critics question its viability amid debt and past mismanagement, calling for strong oversight.
