I wonder when those banks which have lent heavily to these (associated) sectors will have to bite the bullet.
Banks may need to fast-track providing (P&L) for these loans.

Plus proposed tax rates will be 5% higher for most banks.
Add the waste & malaise from the scam-a-week government.
Oil is at $78 = inflation

As always the govt is the biggest party pooper. Proposal to raise capital gains tax from 5% to 20% in an illiquid economy is an extremely greedy and desperate move. Would not be surprised if it is raised again next year in an attempt to balance the fiscal end.

Income Tax for firms with PBT over 500mn will increase from 30% to 35% [it may be progressive]
Capital gains from 5% to 20% is another huge hit for firms with significant "for sale" property portfolios.
Proposed VAT on fuel.

Talk about discouraging both local and international investors from growth and profits. Why make Kenya an undesirable investment destination ?

Hot how.. It would be difficult for any Kenyan bank to have known of the scam. If payment has been received from IFMIS to the client bank account and the client presents an LPO along with invoice in support of works done.. The banks' work stops there! Hio ingine ni ya DPP na CID

I agree this is not on banks.If you have supporting documents the transaction is supposed to be approved.If the said documents were issued after supplying air that's an issue for the criminal justice system to solve.

Banks are liable. They have a responsibility to report suspect transactions e.g if an account that barely transacts receives 10M from a govt institution and the money is withdrawn in cash within the hour (no large amounts declaration forms were signed).
And this happened repeatedly at the same bank!
We should be asking which banks. Transactions happened at Ridgeway Mall. We have Equity, Coop, Chase and StanChart there
Start!
