The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has set specific fines for lenders and officials breaching rules, a shift from blanket fines for all violations.

The published Draft Banking (Penalties) Regulations 2024 published by the CBK stipulate a maximum fine of Sh20 million for institutions violating rules on minimum capital levels and adequacy ratios, making adequate provisions for loans and write-offs, and corporate governance regulations.
