Commercial banks have shed about seven per cent of their workforce in the one year since the law capping interest rates was introduced, a survey released by the industry lobby Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) has shown.

The survey released on Thursday showed that banks had let go 1,933 employees, both in management and non-management positions, between August 2016 and June 2017.
