National lottery, tax incentives for corporate sponsorship

The Kenya Kwanza government promised to consider the setting up of a national lottery, tax incentives for corporate sponsorship, a dedicated or ring-fenced tax, and a public-private partnership framework for infrastructure.

In 2023, the Kenya Kwanza Government reiterated this promise through the State Department for Sports’ strategic plan for the years 2023 through 2027.
The National Lottery Task Force was set up to shore up funding for Sports, Culture, and the Arts. The task force birthed 2 bills, the National Gambling Control Bill,2023, and the National Lottery Bill, 2023, whose proceeds go towards boosting financing for Sports and Arts.
As the president did not assent to the 2024 Finance Bill, the tax incentives for corporates sponsoring sports were never factored in.
