    The Central Bank of Kenya’s Monetary Policy Committee on Wednesday held its benchmark lending rate at 9.0% for the sixth time in a row on the backdrop of inflation expectations being within the target range.

    “However, there is need to be vigilant on the possible effects of the recent increases in fuel prices, the ongoing demonetisation, and the increased uncertainties in the external environment,” Dr, Patrick Njoroge, Chairman of the MPC said in a statement.
