Streamlining environmental impact assessment processes for renewable and alternative energy projects in South Africa and Kenya

Across Africa, the drive to expand renewable energy has placed a greater focus on environmental approval processes, which are central to determining how quickly projects can be implemented. Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) remain the primary tool for evaluating the potential environmental and social effects of projects such as solar parks, wind farms, and hydroelectric dams. Through stages, including screening, scoping, detailed assessment, and public participation, EIAs aim to ensure developments are both legally compliant and environmentally and socially responsible.

Cabinet Secretary approval required before loan interest rate adjustments: Clarification by the Supreme Court

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is reviewing its current risk-based credit pricing model. This model involves banks setting their lending rates based on the CBK’s base rate and a borrower’s risk profile, rather than applying a uniform interest rate. Borrowers with a higher risk profile get higher interest rates on their loans. This model has, however, led to some banks overcharging their clients and imposing additional fees that exceed the true underlying risk. As a result, CBK is proposing to introduce a new model where all loan interest rates will be tied to the Central Bank Rate plus a clear, bank-specific margin that will be published 30 days before any change.

Not every consumer is protected but if you are in the business of rental, be aware

The relationship between residential lease agreements and the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) often creates confusion, particularly when it comes to the termination of fixed-term lease agreements. The recent Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) decision in Els v Venter and Another (449/2024) ZASCA 163 provides clarity on when the CPA applies and importantly, when it does not. The judgment considers whether a residential lease agreement concluded by private homeowners falls “within the ordinary course of business” as required by the CPA, and what this means for landlords and tenants in similar disputes.

The Central Bank of Kenya’s expanded net over non-deposit taking credit providers

On 27 December 2024, the Business Laws (Amendment) Act 20 of 2024 amended section 33S of the Central Bank of Kenya Act, CAP 491, Laws of Kenya (CBK Act) replacing the term “digital credit business” with “non-deposit taking credit business” . The amendment had the effect of removing the separate requirement for digital credit providers licensing and expanding the Central Bank of Kenya’s (CBK) oversight over credit business more generally and without emphasis on the form of channel used to advance a loan. We highlighted this and the other amendments in an alert published earlier this year here .
