Disclosures of “personal financial interests” under section 75 of the Companies Act

Some things in life can be quite difficult to put into words but are instantly recognisable when you see them. A tap-dancing elephant, for example, is an image that is not easy to describe, but if you ever came across an elephant practicing its heel drops and shuffles while brandishing a cane and wearing a top hat, you’d have an innate sense of what you’ve justwitnessed.

Permanent establishments risk in Kenya: The dependent agent dimension in the Travelport services case

When it comes to permanent establishments, substance trumps form. Businesses with cross-border operations cannot rely on the contractual labelling of functions alone, therefore, if a contract describes local functions as auxiliary, those functions must genuinely be auxiliary in practice. Where the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) examines the true nature of those functions and finds them to be core to the business, a permanent establishment (PE) determination will follow, giving rise to tax obligations. In the recent decision in Travelport Services (Kenya) Limited v Commissioner of Legal Services & Board Coordination the Tax Appeals Tribunal (Tribunal) outlined functions that give rise to a PE, particularly, a dependent agent PE. This alert discusses what the decision means for businesses with Kenyan operations.

Sustainability bonds and the debt market of the future: Are we ready?

Sustainability-linked bonds (SLB) and green debt instruments have emerged as essential instruments in mobilising capital for climate-resilient infrastructure and inclusive socio-economic project development for the purpose of supporting long-term sustainability goals. SLBs are structured in a similar manner to conventional bonds, however unlike conventional bonds, SLBs are designed to provide the capital needed to fund a project’s growth requirements by linking financial performance to predefined environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, incentivising issuers to meet set sustainability objectives measured by key performance indicators (KPI) against sustainability performance targets. In the event that certain targets are missed, the coupon rate may be adjusted accordingly.

An analysis of Kenya’s Construction Payments Adjudication Bill, 2025

The construction industry remains a cornerstone of Kenya’s economic development, catalysing job creation and infrastructure transformation. Yet, persistent payment disputes, contractor distress and project delays plague the sector. Existing traditional methods of resolving such disputes, such as arbitration and litigation, are often expensive, slow and adversarial, and as a result, undermine the industry’s efficiency and financial viability.
