We were wrong! RUTO’s CS makes a big U-turn on the sale of KCC as he removes it from the list after public uproar

Friday, December 1, 2023 – The Government of President William Ruto has beat a hasty retreat on the sale of one of the parastatals listed for privatization after a public uproar.

In a statement, Ruto, through Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui, retracted an earlier directive to privatise the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC). 

The CS stated that President William Ruto’s administration would not sell KCC despite a Monday, November 27, order listing the company among 11 parastatals to be privatized.
