Browse sections
IN EXERCISE of the powers conferred by section 42 (1) of the Competition Act, 2010, the Competition Authority of Kenya excludes the merger from the provisions of Part IV of the Act due to the following reasons—(a)the merger will not affect competition negatively; and (b)the acquirer is a new entrant in the Kenyan market, while the target is a newly incorporated undertaking and hence no turnover for the preceding year, 2016. Therefore, the transaction is below the required threshold for mandatory notification as provided for in the Merger Threshold Guidelines.
