On 27th June 2024, the Supreme Court decided that interest rates on loans and facilities provided by banks and financial institutions are subject to section 44 of the Banking Act. In light of the delegation, by the Minister of Finance, of the powers vested in him under section 44 of the Banking Act to the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), banks are required to seek prior approval from the CBK Governor before increasing interest rates on loans and credit facilities advanced to their customers. Our partners, Kiragu Kimani SC, Sigee Koech, and Lawson Ondieki, have reviewed the judgment and given their views on the effect of the decision. #DentonsHHM #LegalAlert #BankingLaw
