Remember, Kenyans should not expect Salary reviews next year, in fact be ready for redundancies.

LOL...Truecaller says that 0780006999,belongs to one 'Mwizi Sugu Conman'? Nice catch. I could have ended calling the guy and only God knows what could have followed. Looking keenly at the original message it appears to have been sent from +254 713 873166 (Ruth-as per tru caller) last night. I have blocked and reported. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

To think of it, the mwananchi-caring gaament aks jubilee should prevent banks from massively investing into treasury bills and bonds, or atleast restrict them to individual account holders amount which is 20 million. They should know people these banks. Portfolio: Sold

These fellows are borrowing like debt is free money!! Let the country be auctioned as we watch. Kukopa harusi... Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Remember, Kenyans should not expect Salary reviews next year, in fact be ready for redundancies. Seriously ?? Back to reality. Co-op bank went on the offensive from Saturday by offering to buy loans from other banks. When customers started asking for loan statements from their banks to move to co-op, it was each man for himself. I have just received a message from KCB informing they have officially reduced their rates for new loans. They aren't waiting for the Gazette notice. And get this, they are waiting for CBK to advise on how to handle existing loans. The two largest banks in kenya have implemented the law. Does it matter what sidian does ? Let's drop the scare-mongering. It was never going to work and am glad some of us have been Sat by as much from kitabo. It is the "experts" who have been warning us of a major credit squeeze that we should be worried about. Have you or any one of those unsecured borrowers you know tried to apply for these loans at 14.5% p.a?? Coop was merely pulling a PR stunt that clearly got Wanjiku excited but the only ones who will get credit committee approval for their loan applications at 14.5% p.a. are only those who meet certain criteria.

watch this space,,, can the law apply retrospectively? isn't that against the constitution Court of Appeal stated in the decision of *Benjoh Amalgamated Limited & another v Kenya Commercial Bank Limited [2014] eKLR* "A constitution looks forward and backward, vertically and horizontally, as it seeks to re-engineer the social order. In this way, a constitution may and does embody retrospective provisions or provisions with retrospective ingredients. However, in interpreting the constitution to determine whether it countenances retrospective application of any of its provisions, a court of law must pay due regard to the language of the constitution. If the words used in a particular provision are forward looking and do not contain even a whiff of retrospectivity, the court ought not to import it into the language of the constitution. Such caution is even more necessary if the importation of restrospectivity would have the effect of divesting an individual of their rights which had legitimately become vested before the commencement of the constitution.” Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 20th day of June 2014. *G.

You were only informed of the adjustments based on kbr+R. kbr has not changed, only R has been normalised by capping it for new loans. You could renegotiate the rate R with your lender, or get a Shylock finance you for say two months clear the principal, delist from cbr and acquire a new loan at kbr+4% to enjoy the new rates. choices have consequences though.  ,Behold, a sower went forth to sow;....
