Public Engagement on Legislative and Policy Reforms

The Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry (MITI) has called for submission of proposals on legislative reforms for advancing consumer protection, investments, trade and manufacturing.
According to Cabinet Secretary MITI Hon. Salim Mvurya, costs and procedures for domestic trade remained unfavorable and burdensome primarily due to unpredictable tax regime and high cost of power. 
Hon. Mvurya said, in line with the Constitution of Kenya, it was mandatory for the people to be involved in the process of making policies and regulations. 
“Therefore, MITI, is inviting members of public and stakeholders to submit proposals on measures to attract foreign and local investors, rationalization of incentives to boost manufacturing and harmonization of taxes within the manufacturing sector to provide a stable and predictable taxation.
Other areas include putting measures for quality manufactured products, consumer protection and fighting counterfeits.
These proposals will be submitted by MITI to parliament for consideration.
