Business Registrations and Licensing Agency Benchmarking Tour
By: Otieno Otiego
BRS hosted a delegation from the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA) of Tanzania and Zanzibar for a knowledge exchange program in Nairobi with the support of GIZ from 18th to 20th December, 2024.
The benchmarking study tour aimed to promote regional cooperation and enhance compliance with international standards, key focus being the risk assessment of legal persons in line with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 24 that require countries to ensure that competent authorities have timely access to adequate, accurate and up-to-date Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI).
BRS shared experience on the digitization and re-engineering of its processes, which have improved service delivery through end-to-end automation of business processes across the different registries, as well as enhanced efficiency and experience of our customers in their day-to-day interaction with our services.
The delegation also visited the Huduma GPO Centre to have a first-hand experience of how Huduma Centres play a critical role in the provision of public services to the Kenyans under one roof, making services more accessible and promoting accountability.
