Clarion Call for Government to Enhance Ease of Doing Business

A strong appeal has been made to the government to expedite policies aimed at enhancing the Ease of Doing Business and attracting investors.

This was highlighted during a three-day Investors Expo held at the Visa Oshwal Center in Parklands by the Intercontinental Confederation for Chamber of Commerce.

Vimal Shah, the Chairman of Bidco Africa, emphasized that many investors are deterred by the country’s high taxation rates and cumbersome bureaucratic processes.

“Kenya has immense potential, but we risk losing opportunities to our neighbors if we don’t address these issues urgently,” Shah stated.

Ambassador Esther Waringa, representing the Public Service Governance, called on the political class to avoid divisive rhetoric that could destabilize Kenya’s business climate.

“A stable and supportive business environment is critical for sustainable economic growth,” she said, urging stakeholders to work together to inspire investor confidence.

The Expo brought together stakeholders from various sectors, focusing on strategies to streamline processes and create a more investor-friendly atmosphere in Kenya.
