The Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 2024 outline penalties for violations of the Banking Act and Prudential Guidelines in Kenya. These regulations apply to all institutions and individuals, with penalties ranging from 1 million to 20 million Kenyan shillings for institutions and up to 1 million shillings for individuals. The Central Bank of Kenya is responsible for assessing violations, imposing penalties, and ensuring compliance with the Act. Institutions and individuals have the right to request a review and appeal decisions. Penalties must be paid within the specified timeframe; failure to do so incurs additional daily penalties and civil debt recovery.
