The World Bank has given Kenya more than 10 conditions before it can access the next round of loans.
Here are 10 of the main conditions explained in simple terms.
1. Public officials must declare their interests
Senior government officials will have to declare their personal financial interests to help prevent conflicts of interest and reduce corruption.
2. Pass the Whistleblower Protection Act
Kenya must pass a law that protects people who report corruption or misuse of public money from punishment or retaliation.
3. Limit unsolicited PPP deals
The government must introduce rules to stop companies from getting major public projects through unsolicited proposals and instead use competitive bidding.
4. Update company ownership records
Kenya must strengthen its register of company owners so authorities can identify the real people behind companies and fight money laundering.
5. Tighten budget changes
The government will have to ensure any changes to the budget stay within the spending limits approved by Parliament.
6. Merge government payroll records
Kenya must combine payroll and HR records across ministries, counties, state corporations and independent offices to help remove ghost workers and improve accountability.
7. Pass the Railways Bill
The Railways Bill must become law to improve how Kenya's railway sector is managed and regulated.
8. Publish urban transport rules
The government must publish regulations to guide urban transport planning and improve public transport systems.
9. Publish e-mobility rules
