Legal and Regulatory Framework for Property Seizure and Disposal in Kenya

Depending on the nature of the seized property, other statutes come into play, such as the Land Act, 2012 for immovable property, the Companies Act, 2015 for corporate assets, and various sector-specific regulations applicable to financial institutions, such as the Banking Act (Cap 488).
