This is the predatory behaviour that has to stop Your salary in not a security, you can borrow today from equitell knowing very well you have been fired and your salary wont be coming to equity anymore. Moreover, due to lack of information(comprehensive) by CRB's banks do not have complete information of the average borrowers like you hence the interest charged factors in the risky borrowers who will borrow at the same rate like you but default. but even with security banks don't lower rates They say it just makes it easier to get a loan

I have a question. Will this law affect those who already had loans, or is it only for new loans from the date of "operationalization" or "gazettement" of the law?

Bank stocks will be Un attractive until Q1 2017 when the impact will start being assessed,anyone who wanted a loan will make sure they benefit from this law so there will be a dry period of rethinking "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Quote:Statement by Kenya Bankers Association on the Banking (Amendment) Act 2015
Nairobi, 24 August 2016: The Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) is committed to bringing down loan interest rates, promoting a savings culture and enhancing consumer protection, so we welcome the spirit of today’s decision by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta.
We however do not feel that an arbitrary rate cap is in the best interests of the majority of people and businesses that this law seeks to support. The reality is that there is little evidence from other countries that such interventions have helped the majority of citizens, and in a number of countries such laws have been reversed to promote financial inclusion.
However, we as the banking industry remain committed to addressing the fundamental issues that drive up the cost of credit.
Meanwhile, the banks will comply with the law as they continue to provide financial services to their customers. Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

MaichBlack wrote:obiero wrote:streetwise wrote:Us the people. Once we decide no one should stop us @streetwise amen and amen. Over KES 88B combined net profit for Kenyan banks does not make sense to me. That profit made by the banks directly represents the losses made at the dukawalla. Blind capitalism will never be sustainable in Africa. Thats why crime levels keep rising. Opportunity to make an honest living in this country keeps diminishing by the day. Safaricom is also guilty as alleged, but atleast they pay their workers outlandish salaries  @Obiero - You are trying too hard!! You want to say the guys engaging in violent robberies, muggings, break in etc. are doing so because they don't have access to cheap credit?? Get serious! The buggers have access to interest free, collateral free and repayment free "credit" - whatever they rob from you!!! Do they go and start/expand a business and say bye bye to thuggery?? If whatever you are saying is even remotely true, thugs would be engaging in crime only once and then they start a business!!! Thugs are just thugs!!! And most of them are actually from well to do families. The other thugs you elect also have access to more money than the average Kenyan and they are the biggest thugs we have around!!! We the people..

The next person was Liv...Unfortunately by stating the truth, they stated the obvious...It's the gov'ts fault. Ipso facto, it's Uhuru. When you tell Liv and Murchr, Uhuru, these people start wetting their beds
Yet, facts are like Itumbi says, facts.
Now in Kenya when you say Uhuru, guys either start crapping or clapping. Depending...Just like the Donald Trump games...
The fact is Gov't is borrowing tooooo maaaash.
Rates have got to go up!!!!!!
Capping interest rates shall never happen in Kenya. Not when this CBK governor is alive. It shall never happen. Obiero pole. But it shall never happen!!!!
And it's a good thing it never happens because I believe in markets..I believe in water finding its own course.
Yet!!!!!!!!!
The Kenyan banks are just shylocks.
So as much as I'm capitalist, these people have to be stopped from stealing.
As Njunge said, next year we can reform that bill.
Lakini as it stands
Uhuru shall not sign it
Parliament shall be given money and Mpigs shall disappear from the floor
Wanjiku is still screwed because Murchr has another Konza project he's thinking about.
The people making your rates go up are right here on Wazua. Someone has to "lease" their car.
Tafakari hayo kaka.
People weaned on Thatchernomics have too much belief in privatisation and free markets. Need to wake up to the fact that Thatchernomics failed, hence Brexit, Trumpism etc. Govt controls are a necessary evil to maintain sanity in any market. Even the CBR, KBRR are control mechanisms. UK via the LIBOR also avails a guide to sane rates. Current borrowing rates in the country are simply criminal. Whether this is caused by heavy domestic borrowing by the government is debatable Good move by El Presidente

Its bound to be signed on Monday 29th Aug 2016 The bankers will visit statehouse with big brown envelop and this story will be forgotten. I like how people replace basic economics with conspiracy theories. But at least, conspiracy theories can be as simple as you want them to be. Oh, big brown envelope. Oh, he owns a bank. Oh, bla bla bla. Why tax your brain with economics? Rent-seeking is not a conspiracy theory my brother @maich. It is the reality. How else do you think people who earn KShs 2m salary, have never run a business still manage to donate KShs 100m per month in harambees and spend KShs 5B in electioneering campaigns? On to the next..
