dc.description.abstractThis study set out to appraise Kenya’s business regulatory environment using the Ease of Doing Business index performance between 2008 to 2020, examining both its successes and challenges while also identifying potential policy options. The specific objectives of the study were: to critically review Kenya’s business regulatory reforms to identify reforms that improved or worsened the business environment as measured by the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) Index between 2008- 2020; to identify the key successes and challenges associated with Kenya's business regulatory reform experience; and to draw lessons for business regulatory reforms from Kenya’s experience and from global best practice. The theoretical anchorage of this study was drawn from transaction cost theory, institutional theory and stakeholder theory. These theories were reviewed alongside the public interest theory and enforcement theory. This study adopted the exploratory design and secondary data collection methods were deployed. Content analysis methods were used to identify themes and to develop key episodes informed by the performance in the EoDB index for the study. The purpose of the key episodes or phases was to identify key episodes that had contrasting performances and seek to explain the reasons for the different episodes based on performance and further map the episodes to specific reforms.
