It is my pleasure and honour to present

the Competition Authority of Kenya's

(“the Authority”) Strategic Plan

2017/18 – 2020/2021, laying down the

organization's four-year plan. Strategic

Plans are critical for organizations since

they offer a reference point, based upon

which activities can be undertaken

systematically and pro-actively

moni tored and eva luated . The

Authority's first Strategic Plan 2013/14-

2016/17 was unveiled in November

2013. The Plan achieved a number of

remarkable milestones aimed at

realizing the Authority's Vision. These

include; developing and implementing

guidelines and toolkits on competition

e n f o r c e m e n t a n d c o m p l i a n c e ,

conducting market inquiries and

sector-specific research studies,

handling of consumer cases, analysing

and concluding numerous mergers and

acquisitions, informing creation of

national, regional and international

networks, internal staff capacity

development, among others.

The exemplary performance recorded

by the Authority was as a result of the

u n wa ve r i n g s u p p o r t f r o m o u r

stakeholders, especially our parent

Ministry and development partners.

The Board, Management and Staff were

equally instrumental in enabling the

Authority execute its mandate. During

the life of the Strategic Plan 2013/14-

2016/17, Kenya's economic and

investment climate transformed

significantly.

This growth is partly a�ributable to

developments in the innovation and

technology space, coupled with an

increase in the bilateral and multilateral

trade agreements between Kenya and

other countries that have spurred

investments locally. Evolution in the

g loba l bus iness l andscape has

influenced application of competition

law and policy in the Kenyan market as

well as enforcement of consumers'

rights.

To enable the Authori ty tackle

emerging competition issues, the

Competition Act No. 12 of 2010 was

amended, enhancing the Authority's

enforcement capacity. As a result, the

A u t h o r i t y wa s e m p o w e r e d t o

undertake more effective market

inquiries, exclude mergers with benign

competition effect and investigate

abuse of buyer power. Equally, the

Authority's consumer protection

mandate was augmented, giving the

Authority the capacity to adequately

a d d r e s s e m e r g i n g c o n s u m e r

complaints.

Further, and in response to these

emerging issues, the Authority has

developed its second Strategic Plan

covering the period 2017/18 – 2020/21.

This Strategic Plan is anchored on

Kenya's main development blueprints;

the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Big

Four Agenda, MTP III, Kenya Vision

2030 and the Sustainable Development

Goals. These blueprints were taken into

account in designing the Authority key

thematic areas for the next four years.

The current Strategic Plan builds on the

previous Plan's successes, factoring in

the lessons learnt in its design and

implementation plan, including

strategies to overcome the identified

potential challenges in the coming four

years.

The Authority is commi�ed to actualiz-

ing this Strategic Plan which envisions

among others; deepening efficiency by

monitoring and reviewing the requisite

organizational policies and operational

procedures to enable the staff to

maximize their potential during the

implementation period. The Authority

will continue adhering to the principles

of good governance and the core values

of the organization, which fortify team

spirit and enhance the working envi-

ronment necessary for delivering on

the aspirations of the new Strategic

Plan.

Finally, I would like to recognize the

dedication and commitment of my

f e l l o w B o a r d m e m b e r s , t h e

Management Team and the entire Staff

throughout the planning process, and

for tirelessly working on, and deliver-

ing this document. I am persuaded that

in the same manner that the team had

myriads of success stories in the imple-

mentation of the first Strategic Plan, we

shall successfully implement this Plan

as we work towards our vision and

fulfil our mission.

BOARD CHAIRMAN

Strategic Plan (2017/2018 – 2020/2021)

The 2017/18 - 2020/21 Strategic Plan is

anchored on the success and lessons of

the previous Strategic Plan (2013/14-

2016/17). The Plan sets out outcome-

oriented goals and objectives which the

Authority will endeavour to achieve

and shall place greater emphasis on

delivering effective enforcement and

enhance the creation of efficient

markets for consumers.

Specifically, the second Strategic Plan

focuses on achievement of the Big 4

Economic Transformation Agenda. The

Big 4 Agenda is four-pronged; enhanc-

ing manufacturing's share of GDP from

9.2% to 20% by 2022; achieving 100%

food security and nutrition; availing

affordable housing and universal

health coverage.

To contribute to the achievement of the

Big 4 Agenda, the Authority will

conduct market inquiries to locate and

extinguish anti-competitive practices

impeding growth of the manufacturing

sector. The Authority will also advise

on the review of legislation on the

provision of professional services in the

country with the aim of increasing

competition and spurring growth of the

Big 4.Mortgage uptake in the country

remains low. The Authority plans to

review the terms and conditions of

these house ownership contracts to

ensure they are not prohibitive to

consumers. To support SMEs leasing

healthcare, agricultural and manufac-

turing equipment, the Authority will

advise on the framework to support the

Leasing Sector. This intervention is

expected to result in increased uptake

of this sector especially among the

SMEs. In addition, the Authority will

conduct investigations into possible

breaches of consumer rights in the food

sector as part of its contribution to

realisation of food security and nutri-

tion.

The Strategic Plan also takes into

c o n s i d e r a t i o n t h e S u s t a i n a b l e

Development Goals, the Kenya Vision

2030, the Constitution of Kenya as well

as sectoral blueprints aimed at promot-

ing socio - economic and political

development in the country.

The Plan is cognizant of the environ-

mental factors under which the

Authority operates in and has taken

these into account while formulating

the various strategies of achieving its

objectives in the next four years. The

process of developing the Strategic

Plan involved extensive internal and

external stakeholder participation and

consultation. The Authority conducted

various workshops, providing an

opportunity for Staff, Management and

Board to fully inform the development

of this Plan. The degree of engagement

in the process, and, the quality of

contribution ensured that the Plan

embedded the interests and focus of

stakeholders in ensuring and generat-

ing the necessary ownership and

commitment in its implementation.

The Plan therefore, provides a credible

cog for

the realization of the Vision of a Kenyan

economy with globally efficient

markets and enhanced consumer

welfare.

The Authority recognizes that the onus

is on the Management Team to ensure

the successful implementation of the

Plan. Management will play a vital role

in guiding their respective Teams. To

support this process, the Authority has

institutionalized a Monitoring and

Evaluation (M&E) framework that will

ensure that progress on the implement-

ing of the deliverables set out in the

Plan is regularly tracked. As we embark

on the journey of implementing the

Plan and delivery of the highlighted

strategic objectives, we value the

support, goodwill, and commitment of

our stakeholders to ensure that we

achieve its objectives.

Lastly, we would like to thank the

Board members for their support in

developing this Strategic Plan. In

addition, we appreciate the commit-

ment and input of colleagues in the

development of the current Strategic

Plan. We are confident that we shall

successfully deliver on it as a team.

The Competition Authority of Kenya

(“the Authority”) is a Statutory Agency

established under the Competition Act

No.12 of 2010 (“the Act”) . The

Authority's mandate is to enforce the

Act with the aim of enhancing the

welfare of the people of Kenya by

promoting and protecting effective

competition in markets and preventing

misleading market conduct in Kenya.

The Authority's 1stStrategic Plan

covered four (4) years (2013/2014 to

2016/2017). The review of the 1st

Strategic Plan identified the successes

secured and challenges faced during its

implementation, lessons which were

taken into account in preparation of

this 2nd Strategic Plan.

This Plan sets out the vision, mission,

the strategic themes, strategic objec-

tives, and key activities to deliver

output. In carrying out the institution's

environmental analysis, a couple of

strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,

and threats were identified that the

Authority should take cognisance of in

the realisation of its mandate and

achievement of its well-articulated

vision. Further, the Authority has

aligned its Strategic Plan to the Big 4

Economic Transformation Agenda.

The key strengths of the Authority

include a clear mandate spelt out in the

2016 amendments to the Competition

Act. Skilled staff with knowledge and

experience, well established working

networks with local and regional

stakeholders, established credibility on

c o m p e t i t i o n m a � e r s , a d e q u a t e

resources to execute mandate in line

with international standards based on

ISO 9001:2015 quality management

systems.

Its key opportunities include; develop-

ment of subsidiary legislations to

facilitate the implementation of

Competition Law, provision of advi-

s o r y s e r v i c e s t o g o v e r n m e n t ,

institutionalization of staff knowledge,

be�er knowledge management

practices, leveraging on technology to

improve efficiency and effectiveness,

expanding areas of focus such as Buyer

Power and competition in public

procurement, enhance investigation

capacity, operationalization of the

Competition Tribunal, a supportive

Legislature, cooperative sector regula-

tors, enhanced enforcement by coordi-

nating with other Regional Economic

Communities (RECs) and the Africa

Competition Forum (ACF).

The threats that may constrain the

operations of the Authority include:

competing needs at the Exchequer

negatively impacting on budgetary

allocation, potential change in key

stakeholders priorities during the

implementation of the Strategic Plan,

potential overlapping mandate with

other Sector regulators and RECs,

limited control over the timeliness in

the performance of some tasks due to

unreliable flow of critical information

from external sources, potential change

in government policy and related

regulatory challenges presented by

emerging innovations. These include

issues such as online payments, finan-

cial technology (FinTech) among

others.

In this reviewed Strategic Plan period

report. The M&E Framework contains

activities to deliver the expected

outputs with clear performance indica-

tors. The projected cost of implement-

ing activities in this Strategic Plan is

Kshs.3, 186.95 million which will be

funded primarily by the Exchequer,

internally-generated funds and grants

from Development Partners.

To del iver on i ts mandate , the

Authority has a clear vision and mis-

sion statement, supported by well-

articulated institutional core values

and a quality policy as follows;

The process of strategic planning is aimed at identifying and selecting the most appro-

priate ways of utilising the organization's resources to achieve specified objectives,

while taking into account the external environment in which the organization operates.

The Authority's 2nd Strategic Plan (2017/2018 - 2020/2021) which covers the period

from 1st July 2017 to 30th June 2021, is also informed by the 1st Strategic Plan (2013/2014

- 2016/2017). This Plan sets out what the Authority intends to do in promoting efficient

markets and enhancing consumer welfare in the broader Kenyan society through

facilitating the government achieve its Big 4 Economic Transformation Agenda.

The Strategic themes outline the focus of the Authority for the next four (4) years.

Activities under each strategic objective are linked to performance indicators and

targets to assist the Authority assess progress in realizing its goals and objectives. The

Plan is guided by the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Kenya Vision 2030, Big 4 Economic

Transformation Agenda, the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Medium

Term Expenditure Framework III (MTEF) and the Competition Act.

Building on the foundation of the first Strategic Plan, this Strategic Plan emphasizes

i) Deepen enforcement of the competition law guided by Constitution of Kenya

2010, Kenya Vision 2030, Big 4 Agenda, the Global Sustainable Development

Goals (SDGs), Medium Term Expenditure Framework III (MTEF) and the

Competition Act.

ii) Removal of regulatory obstacles in key sectors of the economy that have an impact

on the larger population;

iii) Increase deterrence in the abuse of Buyer Power in order to strengthen the SMEs;

iv) Building capacity of consumer lobby groups to act as champions for consumer

rights;

v) Awareness creation on competition and consumer protection;

vi) Carry out inquiries, studies and research into competition ma�ers and consumer

welfare;

vii) Advise Government and Government agencies on competition and consumer

welfare issues;

viii) Innovations in managing internal resources to create a more self-sustaining

organization;

ix) Performance management; and;

x) Succession management through institutionalizing the culture of recruiting,

training and retaining the right personnel.

1.3 Governance Structure

The Authority is governed by a Board that is mandated to ensuring that the Authority's

obligations, roles and responsibilities to its various stakeholders are fulfilled through

sound corporate governance practices. The Board established under section 7 of the

Competition Act comprises of the Chairman, representatives from The National

Treasury, The A�orney General, The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives,

Five (5) independent non-executive members and the Director General, as an ex-officio

member.

The Board has overall responsibility of ensuring that the Authority has in place policies,

procedures, and values which support the organization in its long-term planning

aimed at meeting its mission as well as carrying out the fiduciary duty of monitoring

and overseeing the activities of Management. To effectively execute its role, the Board

has constituted the following four (4) commi�ees namely: Technical and Strategy,

Human Resource, Audit and Finance.

Page 16: Strategic Plan 2019-2020-2021cak.go.ke/sites/default/files/COMPETITION_AUTHORITY... · COMESA Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. ... Four Agenda, MTP III, Kenya Vision

1.4 Management Structure

The Management of the Authority comprises of the Director General (DG), three

Directorates (Competition & Consumer Protection; Planning, Risk & Quality

Assurance; and Corporate Services) and five units (Communications & External

Relations, Supply Chain Management, Buyer Power, Legal and Internal Audit) that

directly report to the Director General. The Director General is responsible for the day-

to-day management of the Organization and reports to the Board.

The Competition Act Amendment in 2016 enhanced the statutory mandate and aligned

the Act with international best practices; strengthened enforcement capacity and

emboldened the Authority's ability to address emerging issues in the competition

terrain such as those posed by abuse of buyer power. The amendments provide

increased regulatory capacity for the Authority to be�er execute its consumer protec-

tion mandate, impose administrative penalties for Abuse of Dominance, among others.

This widened mandate will require more resources, both capital and human, in order to

implement the new provisions while also aligning the organizational structure to

enable the Authority deliver on its objectives.

2.1 Introduction

As indicated earlier, the Authority's 1st Strategic Plan covered four (4) years from

2013/2014 to 2016/2017. The objective of the review of the 1stPlan was to provide

insights into the achievements, challenges and highlight lessons for the development of

this Strategic Plan.

2.2 Objectives of Previous Strategic Plan

During the four year Plan period, the following strategic themes guided the operations

of the Authority:

i) Enforcement of Competition and Protection of Consumers;

ii) Research, Advocacy and Awareness Creation;

iii) Mobilization and Optimal Utilization of Resources;

iv) Infrastructure and Human Capital Development, and;

v) Visibility and Corporate Image.

These priority areas were further crystallized under the following five strategic

objectives:

i) To regulate anti-competitive practices and mergers, unwarranted concentration of

economic power, and practices that affect consumer welfare;

ii) To carry out market inquiries, advocacy and promote awareness;

iii) To mobilize adequate financial resources and enforce optimal utilization to ensure

financial sustainability of the Authority;

iv) To build adequate infrastructure and human capital capacity to enable the

Authority efficiently and effectively execute its mandate, and;

v) To enhance corporate image and visibility of the Authority.

2.3 Performance of the Previous Strategic Plan

The performance of the 1st Strategic Plan was evaluated against the five strategic

objectives above. A review of the implementation of the previous Strategic Plan indi-

cated that the Authority achieved about 90% of its planned activities as at April 2017,

which was earlier than the projected end of Plan's period.

2.3.1 Milestones and Achievements

Specifically, the key milestones achieved were:

i) Establishment of the Authority following enactment of the Competition Act.

ii) Development and operationalization of various guidelines, forms, toolkits and

templates for mergers, enforcement, and consumer protection.

iii) Successfully analysed 497 mergers, handled over 180 consumer cases and investi-

gated over84Restrictive Trade Practices (RTP) cases.

iv) Completion of various research studies and market inquiries (Seed, Artificial

Insemination, Tea, Fertilizer, Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD),

Banking Sector Phase I), and various advocacy initiatives.

v) Removal of regulatory obstacles in key sectors of the economy including tea,

Pyrethrum and Telecommunications sectors.

vi) Signing of multiple cooperation frameworks locally (Communications Authority,

Kenya Bureau of Standards, Central Bank of Kenya, Agriculture and Food

Authority, Weights and Measures, Insurance Regulatory Authority), and region-

ally (Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa, Competition Commission

of South Africa) and internationally (Japan Fair Trade Commission).

vii) Enhanced cooperation and collaboration with other stakeholders locally, region-

ally and internationally.

viii) Development of frameworks for Risk Management, Knowledge Management,

Impact Assessment, and Monitoring & Evaluation.

ix) Development of various mechanisms of generating revenue internally such as

Merger filling fees and penalties and sourced for some funding from development

partners.

x) Facilitation of several staff skill improvement initiatives.

xi) Adoption of a Quality Management System (QMS) and a�ained ISO 9001:2008

certification.

xii) Procurement of adequate physical infrastructure and services for the Authority's

operations.

2.3.2 Challenge

During this period, the Authority faced a number of challenges including but not

limited to the following:

i) Low awareness of the mandate of the Authority amongst some stakeholders and

the general public.

ii) Information asymmetry–difficulty in access, cost of acquisition,and reliability of

information gathered from stakeholders for analysis affected the efficiency and

effectiveness in concluding some tasks.

iii) Budgetary constraints – the Authority has not been able to secure adequate fund-

ing for some of its planned activities due to the emerging competing needs at the

Exchequer.

iv) Regional competition environment – lack of a nexus point between National

competition agencies and Regional Economic Communities (RECs)has hampered

effective cooperation.

Page 22: Strategic Plan 2019-2020-2021cak.go.ke/sites/default/files/COMPETITION_AUTHORITY... · COMESA Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. ... Four Agenda, MTP III, Kenya Vision

v) Inadequate Knowledge Management system for collection, analysis and dissemi-

nation of information.

vi) Inadequate mechanisms to strengthen dialogue and advocacy at the County

Governments.

vii) Low automation levels of the Authority's core processes.

viii) Staff skills – some departments do not have adequate specialized skills such as

forensics, merger simulation and research analysis therefore hampering their

ability to efficiently and effectively deliver on specific tasks.

2.3.3 Lessons Learned

The lessons learned from the 1stStrategic Plan point to the need to:

i) Create and increase awareness amongst key stakeholders on competition ma�ers.

ii) Enhance cooperation with key stakeholders to improve tasks execution and

information sharing.

iii) Create awareness at County level on the Authority's mandate which is critical in

entrenching Competition at the County levels.

iv) Harmonize the law between National Agencies and RECs with clear engagement

frameworks to enhance cooperation.

v) Review the Competition Act to improve the effectiveness of competition adminis-

trative remedies.

vi) Prioritize activities to be implemented through the Annual Work Plans.

vii) Review and align guidelines, manuals, forms and toolkits to the changing market

and legal environment.

viii) Adopt the use of Information Technology (IT)to automate processes including but

not limited to: Forensic Analysis, Merger Simulation, Econometrics, Research

Analysis, Human Resource, Knowledge Management, Audit, Financial

Management and Procurement.

ix) Deepen capacity in resource mobilization for organizational sustainability.

x) Develop career progression framework and operationalize the Succession and

Talent

Management guidelines.

xi) Review the organization structure in the light of CAK's mandate and the scope of

responsibilities envisaged.

xii) Develop a Business Continuity Management Framework.

xiii) Build staff capacity in research and various specialization areas.

3.1 Introduction

The Authority's Strategic Plan environmental review has been conducted within a

global context which is experiencing protectionism in some economies and similarly a

push for Regional Integration through Regional Economic Communities(RECs),

mostly in developing countries. The Authority's environment is defined by a number of

issues that include:

• Need to effectively undertake its mandate in a growing economy – there is need

to build capacity for the Authority to pro actively gather intelligence that will

inform its advocacy efforts, consumer protection activities and enforcement

undertakings.

• Emergence of knowledge management and innovation as key strategic assets –

exploring ways of managing and institutionalize knowledge gained as the

institution grows and becoming innovative in executing its mandate within the

available resource constraints.

• Enabling businesses – Governments globally are pu�ing in place measures to

a�ract investments and foster cross border trade. The Authority needs to execute

its organization mandate in a manner that will not restrict investments through

enforcement of rigid regulatory regime while ensuring consumer welfare is

championed and protected.

• Rising Consumer expectations, the power of technology and social media –

creating an agile organization that is in touch with consumer expectations, taps

into the power of technology and new media frontiers to increase awareness of

its mandate and continuously gather intelligence that enables the Authority to

pro actively execute its mandate.

3.2 PESTEL Analysis

This section analyses the existing Authority's operating environment (Political,

Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal) and how these would

impact on the Authority's performance in the next Strategic Plan period. The PESTEL

analysis is a simple and effective tool used in situation analysis to identify an

organization's external (macro environment) forces that would affect its operations.

These forces create both opportunities and threats. A brief description of these

dimensions in relation to the Authority's mandate is as follows:

CHAPTER 3

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Page 24: Strategic Plan 2019-2020-2021cak.go.ke/sites/default/files/COMPETITION_AUTHORITY... · COMESA Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. ... Four Agenda, MTP III, Kenya Vision

3.2.1 Political Environmental Analysis

The Authority has to execute its mandate in the devolved system of Government.

Similarly the push for the integration of the East African Countries under a common

market (East African Community) has resulted in formation of the East African

Community Competition Authority (EACCA) to address cross-border and multi-

jurisdictional competition cases. The Authority going forward has to seek ways of

aligning its instruments to multi-RECs (COMESA and EAC) competition rules.

3.2.2 Economic Environmental Analysis

The Kenyan economy has continued to grow steadily at an annual rate of between 5 and

6% and is reported to be among the fastest growing economy in the EAC region. During

the previous Plan's period, the World Economies were just beginning to recover from

the global financial crisis whose negative impact was felt, though minimally, in the

developing economies. At the national level, Kenya has registered positive growth in

her economy and this has had a positive impact on the operation of the Authority, thus

creating conducive investment for Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs). Any reduction in

economic activities fundamentally affects the quantum of government revenue,

constraining the exchequer budgetary allocations hence affecting the Authority's

budgetary allocation and its operations, in turn. With the expansion in the operations of

the regional blocs through the tripartite (EAC, COMESA and SADC), the Authority has

an availed opportunity to integrate and operate within these established and expanded

regional blocs.

3.2.3 Social – Cultural Environmental Analysis

The social – cultural environment is particularly important in determining the success

of the Authority's operations in meeting its mandate. Stakeholder's opinion is a critical

determinant of the external environment for compliance. The extent and level of

awareness of the role and operation of the Authority to the key stakeholders is critical to

achieve its overall mandate in the market regulations. The social perceptions towards

the Authority significantly affect compliance. The Social-cultural dimension in the

environment scanning process forms an integral part of the operations of the Authority,

and these relate to the values, norms, customs, a�itudes, cultures and societal beliefs. It

is imperative for the Authority to continue researching how these changing values of its

stakeholders and their expectations insofar as market regulation is concerned.

3.2.4 Technological Environmental Analysis

The technological environment covers the impact of new inventions, obsolescence of

existing technology and technological innovations. Information and Communication

Technology (ICT) has revolutionised the way business is transacted and this opens up

opportunities and enhances the efficiency and operations of the Authority. In this Plan,

the Authority will continue to implement modern processes and quality management

systems that would lead to improved service delivery to the stakeholders. The

Authority's use of technology for operational efficiency and effectiveness is paramount

in the achievement of its mandate. Thus, the ICT environment sets the technological

frontier in knowledge management, creating stakeholders awareness, building and

strengthening local, regional and international networks; and monitoring market

regulatory compliance. Rapid technological changes witnessed in the recent times,

puts an expectation on the Authority to adapt and explore ways to harness

opportunities presented to it to be�er and faster delivery on its mandate.

3.2.5 Environmental Analysis

The 21st century has witnessed increased recognition of the importance of the

environment to economic development. The alarming rate of environmental

destruction as a result of population pressure, serious soil erosion, pressure on natural

resources, massive deforestation, climate change and global warming, pollution in its

various forms among others, necessitated the Government of Kenya to establish the

National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) and Climate Change

Directorate.

At the institutional level, environmental issues will continue to provide both

opportunities and threats to the Authority during the Plan's period. The specific

concerns may include but not limited to; the Authority's working environment, sector

regulators with overlapping roles, waste disposal and e-waste will continue to be a

major concern in the creation of a business environment conducive for a�raction and

retention of new business ventures.

3.2.6 Legal Environmental Analysis

Changes in Law and legislation have an impact on the operating environment of the

Authority. The devolved system of governance and the amendments of the

Competition Act have necessitated the need to review and realign the Authority's

strategic activities. Other notable changes in the recent times that have impacted on the

Authority's operations are; The Competition Act Amendment in2016, Public

3.4 Risk Analysis/Management

A risk is a possible event or outcome that could lead to the Authority not being able to operate or

fulfil its mandate. The risk analysis highlights key areas that can affect the implementation of the

Strategic Plan. The contributing factors and mitigating actions form a basis of developing and

implementing the broader risk management framework during the Strategic Plan's period. The

Authority has developed an internal Risk Management Policy that is used to manage it risks.

Emanating from this policy, the Authority has identified five major risk categories with specific

contributing factors and mitigating actions as tabled below;

The Exchequer recurrent budget is estimated to increase annually over the next two

years of the reviewed Strategic Plan period. The development budget in the next two

years is expected to reduce following the completion of the ICT projects. The indicated

amounts are sufficient to maintain the existing ICT infrastructure and cater for the

purchase of computers and furniture to ensure that the Authority's growing workforce

has necessary tools to deliver on its mandate. Penalties are projected to increase due to

the increased enforcement and compliance levels in the economy, while merger filing

fees are expected to stagnate due to the revision of the Merger Threshold guidelines.

Further, it is expected that the development partners shall continue supporting

enforcement initiatives through various programs.

Page 39: Strategic Plan 2019-2020-2021cak.go.ke/sites/default/files/COMPETITION_AUTHORITY... · COMESA Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. ... Four Agenda, MTP III, Kenya Vision

The Authority needs to review progress against targets set in the implementation

matrix on a quarterly, bi-annual and annual basis to inform planning and budgeting for

the subsequent financial years. A Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework has

been developed and is used to continuously measure the performance of the Authority.

The M&E framework identifies routine indicators that are monitored and used together

with the Impact Evaluation Framework to measure impact of the Authority's activities.

For the Strategic Plan's period the Results Matrix helps measure the outcomes of the

Authority's activities. The Results Matrix is used to monitor and evaluate the broader

performance and achievements of the Authority to meet its overall mandate with

emphasis on the six strategic themes.

The annexed Implementation Matrix guides the development of Annual Work Plans

and budgets. It is also used to track and monitor implementation of work-plan activities

on a quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis.

6.1 Performance Questions and Indicators

Performance questions are used to assess whether the Authority is performing as

planned and if not, analyse the reasons for performance shortfalls. Performance

questions are guided by the strategic objectives and key outputs. The type of

information required under each result guides the formulation of performance

questions to be addressed. These questions are driven by the Authority's strategic

objectives. For this strategic period the table below outlines the performance questions

and outcome indicators to be monitored, evaluated and reported.

6.2 Baseline

Baseline data across all the strategic objectives is required to reflect the situation before

the Authority's interventions, to monitor progress, and for final impact evaluation at the

end of the Strategic Plan period. To ensure the Results Matrix is effective, baseline

information for the results indicators needs to be collected, analysed and reported.

Baseline data for the results indicators can be obtained from the review of Annual,

Consultancy and Survey reports. This information should be documented before the

start of the Strategic Plan period or at the beginning of the first year of the Strategic Plan.

6.3 Reporting

The Board, as the custodian of the Strategic Plan, will review progress on the

implementation of the Strategic Plan's key activities. Quarterly review meetings will be

held between the Management and the Board out of which the Board will receive and

review progress reports from the Management, indicating overall progress made on

6.4 Results Evaluation

The Results Matrix evaluates the outcomes of the Authority's operations as it focuses on

the 'so what' question in M&E. This will address the accountability concerns of

stakeholders, informs Managers on progress towards stated objectives, and provides

information on necessary remedial action required in policies and approaches. The

matrix also includes the baseline or the present status relative to the outcome that the

Authority strives to achieve. It sets the current condition against which future change

can be tracked and assessed.

The assessment of outcomes based on the six thematic areas in the Results Matrix is

illustrated in Appendix I. The method of assessment will help determine whether the

results have been achieved. These methods will include:

a) Stakeholder discussion groups to analyse information, identify lessons

learnt, make recommendations and assess changes brought by the

Authority.

b) Surveys to assess satisfactions and awareness levels.

c) If required, Thematic studies to provide further information will be

undertaken through Consultancies or Partner institutions.

d) Review and analyse data from secondary sources.

Results will be evaluated and reported annually to gauge efficiency, effectiveness,

relevance and remedial alternatives.

6.5 Review

A mid-term review of the Strategic Plan informs the expenditure plans for the final

implementation period, including any adjustments on activities that take account of

changes in the environment. A review may be triggered by:

a) Changes in Government policy and amendment to the Competition Act.

b) Changes in the macro-economic environment.

c) Organizational performance and progress of the implementation plan.

These factors can lead to refining or revising the strategic objectives, activities and

budgets accordingly. An end-term review will evaluate the final performance of
