Depositors in collapsed banks will from Wednesday receive compensation of up to Sh500,000, marking the first increase in 30 years.

Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation — an independent agency that manages the deposit refund in collapsed banks — says the increase from Sh100,000, which has remained constant since 1989, will cover about 99 percent of the depositors from the current 90 percent.
