Bank depositors who lose money in failed banks will be paid up to Sh1 million in compensation if the Treasury approves the doubling of the reimbursement, offering comfort to high-net-worth savers.

The Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC)—an independent State agency that manages deposit refunds for collapsed banks— has issued a draft legal notice to increase the compensation from the current Sh500,000.
