The World Bank has mentioned several factors making it harder for private companies to invest in Kenya.
They include:
— Multiple national and county taxes
— Frequent tax changes
— Unclear land ownership
— Cumbersome tax administration
— Perceptions of unequal treatment
— Bribery
— Licensing and permits
— High utility costs
— Unreliable services
— Power outages
— Outdated land records
— Limited access to finance
@DavidNdii , you are wrong. An SEZ licence is not all this project needs, and it does not excuse hiding the agreement.
The government says it signed an agreement with Dangote on 29 September covering land, environmental safeguards and related assurances. That is a public contract.
[Section 5(1)(e) of the Access to Information Act requires a public entity, on signing any contract, to publish the nature of the works, contract sum, counterparty and completion period]
An SEZ licence only covers zone incentives. It does not replace:
–An EIA licence under the Environmental Management and Coordination Act
–Construction and operating approvals from EPRA
–A lawful land title or lease, with compensation and public participation

@summersrand@wicknellchivayo You are doing very well. It’s a matter of time before he perishes mid air. Start buying your champagne. He thinks he’s a king arikudonha very soon uyu.
Yes, reports from ZimLive, Hopewell Chin’ono and others confirm Wicknell Chivayo and his wife Lucy Muteke were among the six killed in a helicopter crash near Marondera today.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Premier League confirm an independent Commission has found Manchester City GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
The club has the right to appeal the independent Commission’s findings and has until Friday 2 October to exercise that right.
The Premier League Board’s intention is that the full process (including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions) is concluded as soon as possible.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits
- During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)
KTN stands by its investigation into alleged voter smuggling along the Kenya-Uganda border, despite denials by the IEBC and DCI. The investigation includes testimonies from Ugandan nationals who claim to have acquired Kenyan IDs and voter cards, conflicting documents, and accounts from police officers said to have direct knowledge of the alleged operation.

Afisa wa DCI aliyekamata vifaa vya usajili wa wapigakura vya IEBC vilivyokuwa katika gari lililokuwa likielekea Uganda alionywa vikali kujiondoa katika suala hilo, la sivyo angehamishwa ndani ya wiki moja. Kama ilivyotabiriwa, afisa huyo alihamishwa siku chache baadaye hadi makao makuu ya DCI, ambako anahudumu hadi sasa.

A KTN exposé has uncovered how Kenyan voter registration equipment and materials, including national ID cards and voter cards, are being smuggled across the Suam border into Uganda and used to register foreign nationals, including members of the Saboti, Sabaot, Bukusu and Pokot communities.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the National Registration Bureau (NRB) have been accused of selectively registering voters and issuing national identity cards in regions perceived to be supportive of the government ahead of the 2027 General Election.
