Competition Authority Of Kenya Launches Online Case Management System

The Competition Authority of Kenya has established an online Case Management System (CMS) as part of its efforts to improve services and deliver on its core mandate to stakeholders.

The CMS went live on 12 June 2019, and will enable its users to go online and:

1. complete and submit merger applications;
2. apply for exemptions in respect of restrictive trade practices;
3. file complaints;
4. request for advisory opinions;
5. apply for leniency in respect of cartel-conduct; and
6. make submissions in respect of matters being handled by the Authority.

Although the CMS is up and running, stakeholders can still access the Authority's services offline. For instance, parties to a merger can still file hard copies of their merger applications with the Authority. The Authority has however urged parties to make use of the CMS going forward.
