Opposition MP’s in Parliament yesterday appeared to shoot down a proposal by the Government requiring commercial banks to have a minimum share capital of 1 billion shillings ($14m) by 2010 – up from the current minimum of 250 million shillings.
This has been seen as likely to cause several smaller banks to merge or be absorbed into larger entities. So for at least, another year, the barriers to entry to the banking sector remain low.
