Why big project investors feel let down by government

Over the last decade, Kenya has made significant steps in improving the ease of doing business, with the country climbing 19 places in the latest ranking by the World Bank. According to the most recent World Bank annual ratings, Kenya is ranked 61 among 190 economies in the ease of doing business; a significant improvement from 80 in 2017.

Ease of Doing Business in Kenya averaged 101.82 from 2008 until 2018, reaching an all-time high of 129 in 2013 and a record low of 61 in 2018. This has not only enabled domestic investors, but also continue to attract much-needed Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) into the country.
