Traders and investors across the 47 counties will from November this year be automatically allowed to operate, if a decision to reject or accept their licence application is not made within 28 days.
The deadline is contained in the County Licensing (Uniform Procedures) Act, 2024 meant to standardise the issuance of licences besides getting rid of multiple fees that traders are currently paying to move products across counties.
