“…Literature on regulation is preponderant in the field of health professions (Besançon, Rockey and van Zanten 2012; Carè, Steel and Wardle 2021; Clarke et al 2016; Dower and Finocchio 1999; Dower, Moore and Langelier 2013; Kidane 2012; McLaughlin, Leigh and Worsley 2016; Regan et al 2015; Saks 2014; Saks 2021; Samanta and Samanta 2004; Schaumans and Verboven 2008; Schepers and Casparie 1997; Squires and Dorsen 2018) and occasionally, the legal profession (Olgiati 1997) and accounting (Cooper and Robson 2006). Perhaps this may be so because the legal and medical professions compared to others happen to be highly regulated in the US and Europe (Garoupa 2004) and, also the oldest (Law and Kim 2004).…”

“…There are four modes of professional services regulation: regulation by state/government, self-regulation (Bayles 1986; Des Places 2006; K’Akumu 2022d; Law and Kim 2004; Lombardi 1986; Olgiati 1997; Van Den Bergh 1997; Van Den Bergh and Faure 1991), regulation by private agencies (Garoupa 2004) and regulated (self-)regulation (Kaye 2006).

The article draws academic attention to capture risks in the regulatory statutes that may lead to capture by regulators. It takes a practical outlook of Kenya for empirical demonstration of the statute-based capture risks. The article uses the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) framework to identify the risk factors in the regulatory environment for professions involved in real estate development, that is, architects, engineers and quantity surveyors. The OECD Reference Checklist for Regulatory Decision-making is used as a reference point in identifying risk analysis as a candidate of inclusion in the checklist for purposes of improvement in regulatory outcomes. Document analysis is used to make observations on the statutes and generate data for qualitative analysis and interpretation. Capture risks are identified in terms of composition of regulatory boards that include powerful public servants. Exclusion of relevant stakeholders in the regulation of professions, inclusion of extraprofessional regulations and uncontrolled legislative powers are other sources of risk of regulatory capture. The article gives central focus to the capture by regulators. Existing regulatory capture literature predominantly consider regulatory capture by private or special interest groups.
