The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) has raised alarm over individuals and organisations that it says are defrauding businesses under the guise of conducting compliance checks in the pretence of affiliation with the Authority.

In a public notice on Friday, CAK said it has received numerous complaints from retail operators based in Mombasa, Embu, Machakos, Ruiru, Nyeri and Meru, with the traders lamenting of incidents of invasions into their business premises, confiscation of merchandise, on-the-spot fines as well as alleged arrests.
