The Central Bank of Kenya has extended the
appointment of Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) as a receiver
manager of Imperial Bank for six months from October 13, 2016.
The regulator said this was after a request from KDIC for an
extension of the period and the CBK's opinion that it is necessary for
KDIC to remain in control of the lender.
KDIC was appointed receiver manager of Imperial Bank on October 13, 2015 after the bank collapsed over mismanagement.
"In light of the above KDIC will maintain the
control, management and conduct of the affairs and business of the
institution to the exclusion of its board of directors," cbk said in a
statement to the media.
The Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC)
management has been accused of by-passing Imperial Bank board and paying
Sh1.5 billion to FTI Consulting, the American firm that was contracted
to conduct a forensic audit at collapsed Imperial Bank.
