The Treasury and Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have until May 2024 to draw regulations on the use of an overdraft facility amid concerns that the State is misusing the kitty held at CBK.

The National Assembly’s Public Debt and Privatisation Committee gave the two institutions six months to develop the rules after the Controller of Budget (CoB) said there is no policy to guide how and when the Treasury should tap the emergency kitty.
