Yes. Even 4% of the base rate. Lol CBK needs to come in soon...else Mr Njoroge's legacy will be the destruction of the banking sector in Kenya. He's already closed 3 down... Hopefully CBK responds to banks (privately) when they seek clarification/guidance. As a customer, dont you feel its your right to know the correct interpretation? Absolutely. I think this has been terribly mishandled so far. CBK should have issued clarification with its 14th Sept ultimatum. But we are customers of banks, not the CBK. It is up to banks to get clarification and pass it on to us. central bank through their twitter handle confimrs that KBRR currently at 8.9% is the base rate for lending by commercial banks and microfinance banks.

Bear in mind also that the CBK did not sponsor nor advocate for the law - so technically the may not know the real intention of the originators of the law. Isuni yilu yi maa me muyo - ni Mbisuu

The law requires CBK to publish a base rate. Failure to do so will expose the Governor to legal risk. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

The question is which of CBR and KBRR are commercial banks to base their interest rates on to borrowers - as per the new law. Suppose CBK says its KBRR and then the courts rule it ought to be based on CBR! Isuni yilu yi maa me muyo - ni Mbisuu

The law makes no reference to CBR...just a base rate. What is base? Seeing is also free. central bank rate = cbr? Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.
