- To realize a fair return and raise revenue for the Exchequer: The GoK has invested heavily in terms of funds and time in nurturing Kenya Re in the past. Therefore, the GoK is seeking a fair return from this divesture for the improvement of public finances.
- To ensure as wide an ownership as possible: This objective is behind the Government’s decision to divest through the Nairobi Stock Exchange. Associating individual Kenyan investors to the development of the Kenyan economy is part of the reforming Government’s agenda.
- To deepen the Kenyan Capital Market: The decision to dispose of 40% of Kenya Re by the Government is a clear demonstration of its commitment to deepen the capital market, in line with instituted measures aimed at accelerating the growth of the capital market.
