Who is the Kenya Bankers Association and what powers do they have ?

On 13th Dec 2011, the KBA met and agreed on a few things, notably,

1.Interest rates for existing customers to be capped at 20%
2.Early repayment penalty on Loans waived

A month later, the banks have refused to enforce this.

I note that the communication was immediately posted on the CBK website

Can this be used by a customer to enforce the agreement

No, it's is a gentlemens' agreement, not legally binding.

Sufuri, The KBA is a cartel, pure and simple.

I think what FKE is to employers, KBA is to the banks.
