Coupon 15.039% crazy...even after WHT its good cash I spoke to the president and his take was that the government shall pull down borrowing rates for itself, which is a good thing.. Expect government to obtain cheap credit. Watch the tbill rate slide down in coming months. We live in good times Congrats for speaking with @citizen001 but you should have asked him how the "government shall pull down borrowing rates for itself" when in fact we know the rates are market driven (through auctions) Beg to differ. The auctions are driven mainly by banks.. Now that banks are pushed to the wall on consumer lending, expect government to show a stiff hand Rates at the auction won't come down anytime soon....that 10 year was just a start. @obiero being a finance guru is not in question, but don't you think now that banks have no Wanjiku to swindle (a narrative I don't buy) they will play hardball in the auction. Remember banks can tolerate reduced earnings longer than the government can endure a fiscal deficit - Pesa NanePesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

Over KES 88B combined net profit for Kenyan banks does not make sense to me. That profit made by the banks directly represents the losses made at the dukawalla. Blind capitalism will never be sustainable in Africa. Thats why crime levels keep rising. Opportunity to make an honest living in this country keeps diminishing by the day. Safaricom is also guilty as alleged, but atleast they pay their workers outlandish salaries  @Obiero - You are trying too hard!! You want to say the guys engaging in violent robberies, muggings, break in etc. are doing so because they don't have access to cheap credit?? Get serious! The buggers have access to interest free, collateral free and repayment free "credit" - whatever they rob from you!!! Do they go and start/expand a business and say bye bye to thuggery?? If whatever you are saying is even remotely true, thugs would be engaging in crime only once and then they start a business!!! Thugs are just thugs!!! And most of them are actually from well to do families. The other thugs you elect also have access to more money than the average Kenyan and they are the biggest thugs we have around!!! We the people..

The next person was Liv...Unfortunately by stating the truth, they stated the obvious...It's the gov'ts fault. Ipso facto, it's Uhuru. When you tell Liv and Murchr, Uhuru, these people start wetting their beds
Yet, facts are like Itumbi says, facts.
Now in Kenya when you say Uhuru, guys either start crapping or clapping. Depending...Just like the Donald Trump games...
The fact is Gov't is borrowing tooooo maaaash.
Rates have got to go up!!!!!!
Capping interest rates shall never happen in Kenya. Not when this CBK governor is alive. It shall never happen. Obiero pole. But it shall never happen!!!!
And it's a good thing it never happens because I believe in markets..I believe in water finding its own course.
Yet!!!!!!!!!
The Kenyan banks are just shylocks.
So as much as I'm capitalist, these people have to be stopped from stealing.
As Njunge said, next year we can reform that bill.
Lakini as it stands
Uhuru shall not sign it
Parliament shall be given money and Mpigs shall disappear from the floor
Wanjiku is still screwed because Murchr has another Konza project he's thinking about.
The people making your rates go up are right here on Wazua. Someone has to "lease" their car.
Tafakari hayo kaka.
People weaned on Thatchernomics have too much belief in privatisation and free markets. Need to wake up to the fact that Thatchernomics failed, hence Brexit, Trumpism etc. Govt controls are a necessary evil to maintain sanity in any market. Even the CBR, KBRR are control mechanisms. UK via the LIBOR also avails a guide to sane rates. Current borrowing rates in the country are simply criminal. Whether this is caused by heavy domestic borrowing by the government is debatable Good move by El Presidente

Luckily made it out of some major holdings in good time.. but a big percent of your portfolio is still in banks! so, what do you expect to be a fair hair cut on obieros portfolio as a result of kamwanaas house attempt to please Wanjiku. what will be the overall industries' hit in percentage. my fair guess from my lender's perspective (16-14.5)/(16*0.5)*100=18.75% conservetively thieves. COOP & HF will come out strongest in this.. Too little meat to be bitten out from the two. Plus HF has never been strong on deposits being only licensed to have current accounts a few months ago!! HF will have the least interest expense of all listed lenders Hey @Obiero. Bill not signed. And please note I did not put the word 'yet' at the end. Its bound to be signed on Monday 29th Aug 2016 The bankers will visit statehouse with big brown envelop and this story will be forgotten. I like how people replace basic economics with conspiracy theories. But at least, conspiracy theories can be as simple as you want them to be. Oh, big brown envelope. Oh, he owns a bank. Oh, bla bla bla. Why tax your brain with economics? Rent-seeking is not a conspiracy theory my brother @maich. It is the reality. How else do you think people who earn KShs 2m salary, have never run a business still manage to donate KShs 100m per month in harambees and spend KShs 5B in electioneering campaigns? On to the next..

That is simply logical.. Wonder what else other than that would work

So now even JM has said he has no other option but to cut Wanjiku out of his portfolio.. Equitel loan products are looking shaky! Interesting times indeed., Mark 12:29
