Richard KagoeA Kenyan minister has said that the shortage of 100 and 200-shilling notes at the banks is down to politicians using the cash to bribe voters ahead of next month's elections.
"People are not working. They are standing on the roadside just to get 200 shillings from all these money launderers." Speaking at a meeting on money laundering and terrorism financing on Wednesday, Dr Matiang’i said such a move could undermine the war against corruption.
