What you need to know about your rights as a minority shareholder in Kenya
The Companies Act offers an array of statutory rights that protect minority shareholders, ensuring that smaller investors are not steamrolled by majority control.
Imagine investing money for a minority stake in a promising startup or a friend’s business, only to find yourself completely sidelined when the majority shareholders make decisions that harm the company or dilute your investment.
In Kenya, minority shareholders are far from powerless. The Companies Act and other legislation provide a range of protections, and a savvy investor can negotiate additional rights through a shareholders’ agreement and the company’s articles of association before committing capital.
