| dc.description.abstract | In Kenya, various studies have been undertaken on corporate governance. For instance, Mwangi (2001) did a survey of corporate governance practices among insurance companies in Kenya. He found out that most companies appeared to have addressed governance issues fairly well. He however noted that, weaknesses arose in the areas of review of internal controls, provision of training to directors and provisions of access to independent advice and to services of the company secretary. He also found out that jointly owned companies had an edge over their locally owned counterparts in governance practices. He concluded that there is a relationship between the level of governance and ownership in as far as companies are categorized into locally or jointly owned.
