Details

Data on companies is not available online from Government sources it is available upon request at the respective government office. There is a fee for the 'search' to de done and it is not clear in what format the requesting person receives the data. I am also not sure if the data at the offices is fully digital though this could be possible and unfortunately I cannot verify in good time. [According to Ahmed - No changes from 2013]

Data on company registry is available from other non-governmental sources such as the Credit Risk Monitor (https://www.crmz.com/Directory/CountryKE.htm).

Reviewer comments

I have changed the data's existence to "uncertain" based on submitter's comments. I also removed the portion about the Kenya Ports Authority as I could not find this data anywhere online.
