There is enough supply of banknotes in the market despite the suspension of local operations by British currency printing firm De La Rue, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has said.
CBK Governor Patrick Njoroge said on Tuesday that the decision by De La Rue to stop printing notes in Kenya for a year will not affect the supply as the country's currency needs are "completely fulfilled."
De La Rue, which operates from Nairobi's Ruaraka area, designs and produces banknotes and banknote security features for CBK.
