ABSTRACT

This chapter examines business and government relations in Kenya. The stakeholder theory presents an argument that investors, entrepreneurs, government, business owners, and civil society organizations should be involved to implement socially responsible activities in order to enhance their performance, values, economic growth, and reputation. Kenya's development priorities set out in Vision 2030, which aspire to promote political and macroeconomic stability, sustained economic growth, and social development, underpinned by rapidly expanding infrastructure, are a major economic challenge. The Government of Kenya enacted the Private Public Partnership Act of 2013. The objective of this policy is to establish a legal framework for business and government relations in the development of infrastructure in the country. The Government of Kenya is committed to attracting foreign investors to the country. The chapter also explores strategic imperative approaches such as inclusiveness, responsiveness, and efficiency in business and government relations in Kenya, trust creation, and confidence building.
