Ten high-profile disputes involving firms and the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) have been thrown into limbo after the Competition Tribunal lost the quorum required to hear and determine appeals against decisions by the regulator.

The tribunal’s secretary and chief executive officer, Julius Mutua, has urged Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to urgently fill the vacant position of the chairperson, saying the institution has been unable to conduct business since September 17, 2025.
