Competition watchdog launches mobile app to boost service delivery

NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 2 -The Competition Authority of Kenya has launched an  App aimed at facilitating stakeholders’ access to its services including filing competition and consumer protection infringements and tracking the status of the same.

Kenyans can file complaints regarding matters under the Competition Act including abuse of buyer power, consumer complaints as well as against businesses engaging in restrictive trade practices such as abuse of dominance, price fixing, and collusive tendering.

Further, the mobile application enables our stakeholders to submit feedback (complaints or compliments) regarding the level of service delivery offered by the Authority in the execution of our mandate.

The application, which is accessible on iOS and Android platforms, has also been populated with the latest information regarding the Authority’s activities, including our Service Charter, Determinations, Orders, Market Inquiries & Studies, and Annual Reports.

Undertakings seeking to merge or acquire another business can use the Merger Threshold Calculator on the mobile app to efficiently compute the filing fees payable to the Authority prior to lodging their applications.
