The PBO regulatory regime comes full circle with the regulations now in place
With the 13 May 2026 deadline for public benefit organisations (PBOs) to comply with the Public Benefit Organisations Act, Cap. 134 (PBO Act) looming, on 18 March 2026 the Kenyan Government gazetted the Public Benefit Organisations Regulations, 2026 (PBO Regulations), following the public participation period.
