The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has warned MPs against proceeding with a Bill that seeks to reintroduce caps on interest rates, arguing it will hurt the economy.

CBK governor Kamau Thugge said reintroducing rate capping that was scrapped in 2019 would lead to a credit squeeze in the private sector.
