2017 polls political instability ‘medium’ risk for Kenyan firms

Businesses in Kenya will face a greater risk from political instability than geopolitics next year due to a hotly contested general election, global risk and strategic consulting firm Control Risks says.

Control Risks rates Kenya’s political risk going into 2017 as ‘medium’ while the country’s security risk is only seen as high in the northern part of the country, Nairobi and Mombasa.
