dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the role of legal norms in the enhancement of securities markets in Sub
-
Saharan Afri
ca
where the markets are still nascent with specific reference to Kenya. Part I highlights the critical role that the
legal and institutional framework plays in securities markets governance and investor protection. It
postulates that for securities marke
ts to thrive and deepen, countries must endeavor to create appropriate
legal and institutional arrangements. Part II is an elucidation of the legal structures on securities markets and
the financial services sector in Kenya. From the discussion, it is clea
r that the framework is characterized by
gaps, duplications, inconsistencies and restrictions on investment. More importantly, there has never been a
comprehensive approach to the promotion of financial services in Kenya. Part III examines the institutiona
l
arrangements and assesses their contribution to the enhancement of securities markets. Evidently, the
multiplicity of regulatory bodies has not endeared the securities markets and there is need for reforms | en_US |
