Just 12.4 percent of over Sh1.4 billion fines imposed by the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) since 2021 have been paid, as companies punished for misconduct take on the competition watchdog in courts.
The authority says firms fined for misconduct such as abuse of buyer power, forming cartels and other anti-competitive behaviours paid Sh177.5 million in fines and penalties between 2021 and 2025, as major players contested the measures.
