Governor Alfred Mutua has slammed critics of new generation currency which was unveiled last week by President Uhuru Kenyatta and defended the use of Jomo Kenyatta’s statute on the notes.

The governor said the widespread excitement across the country arising from the recall of the current currency notes by the Central Bank of Kenya had been chocked by pre-mature debate over trivial issues.
