Now that the shock has settled, some thoughts on the ‘rumoured’ 2% VAT hike

There has been a lot of commotion over the past week pursuant to the postponement of the Budget until 12 March 2025. The postponement will likely have significant legal and fiscal implications, some of which we may not yet fully appreciate, given the unprecedented nature of this event.

Enhancing supervision in the banking sector: A review of the Draft Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 2024

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) plays a fundamental role in maintaining stability within Kenya’s banking sector. According to the Banking Act (Act), the CBK is empowered to make regulations for carrying out the purposes and provisions of the Act. The CBK may make regulations or prescribe penalties to be paid by banks, financial institutions, mortgage finance companies, credit reference bureaus and any other persons that fail or refuse to comply with its directions under the Act or Prudential Guidelines. In exercising this power, the CBK recently published the Draft Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 2024 (Proposed Regulations) whose defining features are a marked departure from the Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 1999 (Existing Regulations) which they will be seeking to repeal.
