[kictanet] Ecitizen and FAQs

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Hi,
Reserved means that you have successfully put aside that name for your use.
It is normally valid for 30 days.
For companies, there is ongoing reform to conform with the new Companies
Act and (na sio kupiga debe) it is easier to use your advocate as an agent.
Regards,
