Some years back, I taught a short competition law course at one of our institutions of higher learning. For various reasons, I was under the impression that my class, which mostly constituted legal practitioners, would be keen on a deeper appreciation of concepts that undergird this somewhat obscure area of law. I was mistaken.
This story funnels into an important point; we may have a gap in appreciation of the fundamentals of competition law among legal fraternity in the country. And there’s data to bear this view out. Determinations of the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) are subject to appeal at the Competition Tribunal.
