A parliamentary committee and the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) have rejected a request by local transporters to have multinational companies operating in the country compelled to give them at least 60 percent of transportation contracts.

Acting on the regulator’s advice, the National Assembly’s Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Committee dismissed the bid by the Kenya Transporters Association (KTA), which argued that its members receive minimal business from multinationals in Kenya.
