The Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) of Kenya has introduced a new policy to regulate the handling of consumer complaints by insurance firms. This move is expected to enhance transparency and accountability in the industry. The policy aims to provide clear guidelines on how insurance companies should respond to consumer grievances, including timelines for resolution and communication protocols.

The IRA's new policy is designed to address concerns raised by consumers about the lack of transparency and accountability in the handling of their complaints. The policy outlines specific requirements for insurance companies to follow when dealing with consumer grievances, including providing clear information on the complaint process and timelines for resolution.
