Deputy Registrar Hiram Gachugi said the affected businesses span sectors including real estate, construction, healthcare, energy, transport and hospitality.

MP Ndindi Nyoro also warned of possible further global price increases amid the Iran crisis and risks to oil tankers and energy infrastructure.
