CAK Staff Shortage Slows Cartel Cases to Three Years - August 2026

The Competition Authority of Kenya attributes the slow resolution of cartel cases to a significant staff shortage, with the agency taking an average of three years to conclude investigations. Meanwhile, call drops and billing disputes were the most frequent complaints lodged by telecommunications consumers with the Communications Authority of Kenya during the fourth quarter of the 2025/26 financial year. Additionally, Kenya has established a national carbon budget, capping carbon credit exports at 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through 2030.
