The move follows a fresh notice by the Registrar of Companies, published in the Kenya Gazette on January 30.
According to the notice, over 120 firms were struck off the register with immediate effect under the Companies Act.
This action means the affected companies no longer exist as legal entities from the date of publication.
The dissolved firms operate across different sectors of the economy. They include companies in construction, manufacturing, financial services, logistics, hospitality, healthcare, and non-profit work.
Their removal signals growing pressure on businesses that are unable to meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Once struck off, a company is no longer allowed to trade, own property, or enter into contracts.
Any business activity under its name becomes illegal unless the company is restored through a formal process.
In addition to the firms already removed, hundreds of other companies have been flagged for possible dissolution.
These businesses have been given a three-month period to respond and explain why they should remain on the register.
The companies facing potential removal cut across many industries. They include firms in energy, real estate, agriculture, technology, manufacturing, entertainment, and healthcare.
Several export processing zone firms and investment companies are also on the list.
