Kenya's MPs Order CBK to Pause Rollout of Tougher Rules for Digital Lenders
A National Assembly committee has directed the Central Bank of Kenya to suspend the rollout of its 2026 rules for non-deposit-taking lenders, which would bring app-based lenders, buy-now-pay-later firms and asset financiers under licensing. The rules were gazetted on 29 September; the directive was reported on 13 November.
