You are on your own, CS Henry Rotich tells Kenyan businessmen in South Sudan

Cabinet Secretary Treasurer Henry Rotich

NAIROBI: The Kenyan Cabinet Secretary in charge of the National Treasury Henry Rotich has said the cash difficulties facing Kenyan businessmen in South Sudan will persist until the war-torn country agrees to float its currency in the market.

Rotich said unless the South Sudan government stops fixing its exchange rate on the South Sudanese Pound, and allows it to be traded on the market; it was going to be difficult for Kenyan businessmen to repatriate their profits back home.
