Kenya will start its privatisation drive by offering stakes in 11 companies including the state oil pipeline, the finance ministry said on Monday. The 11 firms are among more than 35 companies that are slated for sale to partially help the government raise revenue in the face of growing debt repayments. Apart from the Kenya Pipeline Company, investors can buy stakes in one of the main convention centres in Nairobi, a textbook publisher, agri-business firms and industrial companies, the ministry said.
