President Uhuru Kenyatta has rejected a Bill that would have seen depositors in collapsed banks paid up to Sh1 million because of a six-month cap to refund the compensation.

Mr Kenyatta has fired a memorandum to Parliament asking MPs to delete a section introducing a new provision to the Kenya Deposit Insurance Act to prescribe six months as the waiting period for payment of compensation to a customer in respect of protected deposits.
