dc.description.abstract | The Kenyan insurance industry has had little impact in the overall economic well
being of the Kenyan economy.
This study was designed to conduct a comparative analysis of the Kenyan insurance
sector with the Singaporean insurance industry with a view to identifying the factors
which have led to the success of the Singaporean insurance sector as lessons for
Kenya.
The study establishes that there are critical factors such as appropriate legal
framework, application of information technology, rules of self-regulation among
others which have been instrumental in the success of the Singaporean insurance
sector.
The study identifies the constraints in the Kenyan insurance sector which include
reluctance to embrace change, Idw level of professionalism and outdated legal
regime.
The study concludes that the Kenyan insurance industry is in desperate need to
learn new ways of conducting business and endeavour to embrace professionalism
so as to experience growth and have meaningful contribution to the overall
economic well being of the Kenyan economy | en |
