Four companies went into voluntary liquidation in the first three months of this year, a sharp contrast to last year when no entity deliberately chose to dissolve, highlighting an increasingly difficult environment for business in Kenya.

Voluntary liquidation is when the directors or owners of a company decide to wind up the firm and sell off its assets, usually to pay off debts before the business is completely dissolved and ceases operations.
