They still have no access to credit from Banks to pay the tax upfront. Single digit lending is on the horizon

After all, who are you not to get informed and be responsible accordingly,🤗🤔🤧🤕🤓😕🙃 "The MPC noted that inflation expectations were well anchored within the target range, and that economic growth prospects were improving," CBK Governor Patrick Njoroge said on Monday.

Small banks serve no purpose in Kenya except money laundering. Most should close or be absorbed. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Banks will have to increase their core capital from Sh1 billion to Sh5 billion over the next four years if Parliament adopts new amendments to the Banking Act. Kiambu Town MP Jude Njomo, the architect of the interest rate capping law, wants banks to have minimum capital of Sh2 billion by December 31, 2019, Sh3.5 billion (2020) and Sh5 billion (2021). He wants the changes approved through the Finance Bill, 2018 to create stronger banks. The move is set to force mergers and acquisitions as smaller lenders seek to survive.
