  "summary": "The Kenyan government has introduced a new Access to Information Policy, 2026, to facilitate greater transparency and public scrutiny of government actions. This policy, published in the Kenya Gazette on October 9, 2026, aims to enhance the disclosure of public records, protect whistleblowers, and address barriers that have hindered access to information from government offices. It builds upon existing constitutional provisions and the Access to Information Act, 2016, and seeks to improve the way public entities and private bodies share information with the public.",
