Reform IDK629
DescriptionBefore: Businesses operating in economic zones are required to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Economic Zones Development Office before securing utility connections such as gas, electricity, telephone, or mortgage services. The absence of a governing legal framework and reliance on administrative approvals create regulatory uncertainty, add procedural steps, and can delay access to essential utilities needed for business establishment and operations.
