Kenya Competition Act (Cap. 504) for IT Directors

What does Kenya Competition Act (Cap. 504) require of a IT Director?

Kenya's competition and consumer welfare statute: the restrictive trade practice prohibitions including price fixing, market division, collusive tendering and resale price maintenance, trade association practices, abuse of dominance and of buyer power with mandatory supplier contract terms, exemptions, cooperation with investigations and inspections, settlement and leniency, merger notification, standstill and conditions, unwarranted concentrations, the consumer welfare offences on false representations, unconscionable conduct, fee disclosure, product safety and information standards and recalls, manufacturers' liability, confidentiality and the obstruction offences. Under Kenya Competition Act (Cap. 504), which defines 25 controls, a IT Director's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
