We assessed, and offered strategic representation of a multinational company on how best to go about a piece of its product that it was keen on withdrawing from the Kenyan market. Our engagement involved advising on the regulators to engage, aspects about the regulators needs and engaging the regulators on what is vital for purposes of efficiently addressing their needs.
While one regulator was keen on newspaper notification, we successfully explained to the regulator our Client’s business model, among other key components that enabled the regulator to understand and consider that the product withdrawal did not require newspaper notification since it was more of distributor channel withdrawal not to mention low risk factors and usability model. The matter was handled under thr Competition Act and its withdrawal guidelines with a limited website notice period, and no whatsoever penalties or warnings against the Client.
