The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) has rejected a Bill seeking to establish a statutory body of Business Membership Organisations (BMOs) in the country.

KNCCI officials said the government should instead settle for their business entity and make it a statutory body, as indicated in an earlier letter by President William Ruto.
