I thought the courts gave this law 1year for being unconstitutional,was there any successful appeal? "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Parliament has until March 2020 to change the wording of the Act. Looks like Jude Njomo/parliament might deliver by end of this month thus the need for some obstruction(Slay queen in Naivasha etc).

The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending. - Thomas Sowell Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

The bill will be on Uhuru's desk come Monday. CBK governor was recently quoted saying that he was confident that the interest law cap would be repealed.... "its not a question of if but when"... said the CBK boss.What does Dr. Opus know that wazuans don't know? Monday it is.. Dumb money becomes dumb only when it listens to smart money

Praying for Njomo and the parliament in general to be sober at this moment of temptations, Akothee will keep her legs lip at this time of mutual need. ,Behold, a sower went forth to sow;....

Following the CBA and NIC merger, this move was eminent. It might be the only role Uhuru was given by the family to ensure they reap big in interest income!!!!

I hope the reversal of interest rate cap will improve CBK T-bill and T-bond rates. Those in the know, what do you think/any comment? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

CBK has no choice but to improve those rates, if the Big 4 Agenda is still on the table...it's the only way to compete for funds with the private sector.

The interest rate cap will be repealed when he leaves office post 2022. Hiyo ingine yote ni kelele. True the rate cap has helped us against the greedy loan shark banks, and I'm sure it wount go through parliament. The problem is according to the judgement around February, where a judge actually called it unconstitutional and illegal, and gave parliament a year to correct the law otherwise it would be repealed without any further court appearance(i.e returns to its original state). My issue is we have forgotten about that ruling and our chicken memory governors and mp's will not remember to do anything about the law. I can bet you nnext year the interest rates will most likely increase, and we shall have no one to blame but ourselves for not following up on the ruling. Here is the link. https://www.businessdail...6434-6a9knqz/index.html Hence the proposal by Henry Rotich. Last 2 years budgets there have been similar proposals, this time its there to close our eyes and forget the judgement deadline. MPs are negotiating that for the law to be repealed anyone who took a loan before should continue at the same interest rates. New applicants are the ones to be subjected to the new rates. Are you able to provide evidence of this assertion via a link/reference @Ericsson? @Fyatu Hon Sam Atandi @SamuelAtandi Jun 13
Repeal of interest cap law is a progressive proposal. However, its passage must exempt application of new interest rates on existing loan portfolio which should be considered permanently less risky
I reiterate that this is a Uhuru Kenyatta sponsored bill tabled in parliament by his proxy Jude Njomo. The rate cap is not going anywhere unless Uhuru Kenyatta leaves state house. Rotich should stop lying to Kenyans that he is making efforts towards a different outcome. It has come to pass, TBT Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
