Peer reviews of competition law and policy are a valuable tool to reform and strengthen a country's competition framework. This peer review of Kenya presents the evolution of its competition regime over the last few years and assesses the effectiveness of its current competition law and policy. It provides recommendations to help Kenya strengthen its competition regime and institutions, developed and discussed at the peer review examination carried out during the 2025 Global Forum on Competition.
