Frequently Asked Questions

Why is real estate local content compliance so strictly enforced?
Compliance is strictly enforced because the government of Kenya aims to ensure that major infrastructure and real estate projects contribute directly to the local economy.

Our role is to help you meet these requirements efficiently and transparently, ensuring that your project is a success for everyone involved.
