Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has proposed that a law be enacted that prevents any government official, led by the President, from engaging in privately owned businesses.
Speaking during a morning interview with Spice FM on Wednesday, July 9, the second Trans Nzoia governor asserted that barring government officials from conducting private businesses will give other citizens a chance to thrive in the business ecosystem, which he notes is dominated by politicians.
Furthermore, Natembeya, who is a vocal critic of President William Ruto's administration, claimed that the move will be the first key step in dismantling cartels, who he claims work closely with government officials.
A cartel is a group of formerly independent businesses or organizations that collude to control the supply, price, or market share of a product or service, often to increase profits.
