Kenyans will pay Sh600 to search for beneficial owners of private companies in the latest effort by the government to increase revenue collection in a process, that has the potential to expose the wealth and stakes entrepreneurs hold in their businesses.

Through a legal notice, the fee was introduced by Attorney-General Justin Muturi in October last year by amending the Companies (Beneficial Ownership Information) Regulations of 2020.
