    "content": "(c) The Government is carrying out a number of initiatives to improve the ease of doing business. This is a very holistic set of report, but we would just identify a couple as illustrative. These are as follows:- (i) At the national level, there is establishment of Regulatory Reform Working Committee that is drawn from a broad section of the public agencies and private sector to oversee and guide the regulatory reforms. (ii) Formulation of Business Reform Strategy and a draft Business Regulatory Reform Bill that will entrench the regulatory reforms. Again, both of which have been shared with the stakeholders and are currently being finalized. This is aimed at reducing the licences required to start a business in Kenya. (iii) There is also establishment of a Tax Revenue and Harmonization Committee to advise on the long term measures to improve the structure and administration of taxation, which is again one of the indicators that is limited in terms of ease of paying taxation within Kenya. Alongside that there is the launch of an electronic e-registry to provide easy online access to licences and regulation and the ongoing exercise to complete and finalize the electronic registry. The Government has also developed regulations for operations of credit reference bureaus. This has improved credit accessibility, especially to small and medium enterprises."
