The Executive Director of the Competition Commission welcomed members of the media today to a press briefing held on 01 June 2026 to explain the features, operation and benefits of the recently launched Trade Association and Cooperatives Amnesty Programme (TACAP).
In his opening remarks, Mr Vipin Naugah, Executive Director of the Competition Commission, highlighted that TACAP serves as both an enforcement and compliance tool, providing an avenue for businesses to regularize past conduct through self-reporting, strengthen competition compliance, and help restore competition in markets. The Executive Director also emphasized the important role of the media in raising awareness of TACAP, enhancing understanding of its requirements, and enabling the business community to make informed decisions regarding participation in the programme.
It is recalled that TACAP emanates from the “Competition Commission Trade Association and Cooperatives Amnesty Programme Regulations 2026 (GN 53 of 2026)” which became operational on 25 May 2026 and will remain valid until 25 November 2026.
