Kenya: the new company law framework - the Companies Act 2015

Kenya's new company law framework - as set out in the Companies Bill 2015, introduced earlier this year in the National Assembly by the Hon. Aden Duale MP - was signed by the President last week and has, therefore, become law: see the announcement below, made on Twitter. The Bill completed third reading in the National Assembly in August: see here. A copy of the new Act is not yet available; a copy of the Bill as introduced (and published in the Kenya Gazette) is available here (pdf).
