@muchr, please clarify. Does the new act differentiate between normal loan and mobile loan.

Interest rates have been capped but financial institutions will have a free hand in composing APR which will be definitely above 20%.

Look at this;

This month the Central Bank of Kenya offered a 10 year Treasury Bond for a total amount of up to Kshs 25 Billion. The total number of bids received was 795 amounting to Kshs 26.31 Billion. The Weighted average rate for successful bids was 15.039%

Coupon 15.039% crazy...even after WHT its good cash

I spoke to the president and his take was that the government shall pull down borrowing rates for itself, which is a good thing.. Expect government to obtain cheap credit. Watch the tbill rate slide down in coming months. We live in good times

The bill addressed BANKS and FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS only. If the loan is from a BANK expect it to be capped. Your accessing the money through mobile, TT, Cheque, SWIFT, cash, etc should be immaterial.
