A parliamentary committee has rejected the push by teachers for a Sh2 billion State loan to Spire Bank, handing them the latest setback in their efforts to save the troubled lender from collapse.

The National Assembly Committee on Finance and National Planning declined a petition by representatives of teachers asking Parliament to compel the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to give Spire the interest-free loan.
