Kenya Govt and the People of Kenya are distinct


Layman English please

The law won’t be reversed


to repeal is to abolish/anull a law or an act of parliament. .prophet obiero you mean this word was used wrongly ?

I mean that it was a political response to IMF that will not garner real political support in the House. To repeal it cannot be via twitter feeds, this thing is hardcoded in wanjiku who prefers no debt to the mercinary rates that were being bandied by Kenyan banks


It should be mercenary. The problem emanates from attending shithole schools where a young bugger used to receive instructions under a tree inside squalid makeshift structures.

It was written.. MPs will not support the amendment via orders from above!

'Business Daily quoted Jude Njomo, the lawmaker behind the law and a member of parliament’s finance committee, as saying anyone calling for the repeal was wasting their time.'

Kenyan lawmakers say interest cap to stay, finmin still sees change

I will respond with my riverroad economic reasoning. I dont care what they think about it but I will surely have my say.

Since most MP's are known to be heavily indebted, thus due to self interest, its unlikely that they will repeal the interest capping law. I think that we will soon see a downward correction of banking stocks which have had a bullish run over the past few weeks.

About 93 new bank branches were opened last year despite massive layoffs, migration to mobile-based technology and a shift to agency models, a new survey shows. According to the Cytonn Investments 2017 Banking Sector Report, this year alone, National Bank has opened two new branches in Nandi Hills and in Kitale as it targets the expanding agribusiness sector.
NIC Bank, on the other hand, has opened four new branches in Malindi, Watamu, Kilifi and Diani. The report, released yesterday, says following 39 branch closures, more than 1,620 bank employees lost jobs last year in the financial institutions’ effort to contain costs while taking advantage of disruptions by the interest rate cap. “With rising operating expenses in the sector and the expected reduced margins owing to the enactment of the Banking (Amendment) Act, 2015, 11 banks announced plans to downsize. Close to 1,620 bank employees were laid off and 39 branches closed, but the total number of branches in the sector rose to 1,182 in the financial year 2017 from 1,089 in the financial year 2016,” said Cytonn. The investment firm’s numbers were modest as it could not establish how many workers left some of the lenders. Cytonn said, for instance, that the number of struggling Family Bank’s employees who left remains unspecified. The lender let go of 100 staff in December 2016 and a further 150 in December 2017. Banks had 28,009 employees on their books as at August 2016, but the wave of layoffs left 26,076 employees as at June 2017. According to the banking sector lobby - Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) - its members cut 1,933 jobs between August 2016 and the end of June this year due to the reality of the rate cap. According to Cytonn, Equity Bank lost the highest number of staff, 400, followed by Barclays Bank of Kenya at 301 and Standard Chartered at 300.The country’s biggest lender by assets, Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), laid off 223 employees, while Commercial Bank of Africa closed the most branches at 12. Banks took advantage of the rate cap law to declare a crisis and opted to send workers home to manage costs. The layoffs have, however, come at a cost, including severance packages for early staff retirement. “We expect to see a short-term spike in cost to income ratios as result of managements’ tough decisions on staff rationalisation, branch closures and investments in technology. Going forward, these actions will trim the excess fat, making banks leaner and more efficient to face the future,” said Standard Investment Bank. Most employees have now been replaced by agents and mobile banking channels.

Even if the rate cap disappears tomorrow, no credit will increase as long as GoK keeps borrowing like an addict looking to buy a fix.

Keep dreaming!

GoK has reverted to reducing the borrowing by slashing the development budget.
Still it will take time for credit pickup to stimulate the economy.

Uhuru just said in London that the law will either be repealed or modified. Engagements with Parliament ongoing.

The theory is borrowing costs will go up and 'encourage' GoK to borow less. Banks (the only winners) will be at will to charge Wanjiku even more. One wonders if there's a better solution; where everyone can win a little.

The probability of the executive forcing this through Parliament by September is slim to minimal.

Mps will simply be offered preferential rates and that will be the end of the story. Once a simple clause is inserted to guarantee their interests are safeguarded, the law will be ammended.

What would happen if the government were to borrow from Wanjiku directly, through mobile phone, completely by-passing the banking industry?

During the initial days of the HE Kibaki Era, the then Finance Minister, Mwiraria reduced government reliance on borrowing by accentuating tax collection.

He further reduced the amount of money banks had to deposit with Central Bank.

The result was that banks started hawking loans on street pavements, offices, and in the villages.

As such, should an initiative to convince the Class of 2013 Mpigs to do away with the Capping, why not by-pass banks altogether and instead borrow from Wanjiku directly.

Just a thought. Just a thought.
