Hey everyone!

This buzz about the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) teaming up with the German company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) to print our beloved banknotes? This is HUGE news, and it’s not just about money—it’s about our economy, security, and even our jobs! Let’s dive into what this means for us as Kenyans. :partying_face::moneybag:

Why the Change? :thinking:

So, here’s the scoop: De La Rue, the company that used to print our currency, has bowed out. Why? Well, they didn’t get any new orders.

That left a big hole that needed filling—especially with the KSh1,000 notes running low!Governor Kamau Thugge put it perfectly: “The notes we have are getting old… it was really necessary that we get new notes as quickly as possible.”

And who can argue with that? We all want crisp, clean money in our wallets! :dollar::sparkles:

What’s in the Deal? :bar_chart:

This partnership isn’t just about printing paper; it’s a massive contract worth KSh14.2 billion (that’s about $109 million!). Here’s what G+D will be producing for us:

Ebu just read about it. Next time someone gives you Brownie / Thao, please appreciate it!!!

Mnaonaje wadau, is this another extrapolated strategy; another money milking scheme kama zile za morara :thinking: :rofl: :rofl:?

Kibaki made a 40 bob coin and re-introduced defunct notes za 5-bob, 10-bob and 20-bob and the economy grew with inflation tamed. How?

Because at that time Kenyans thought we are all together only to realise some bunch of bitch-asses say this:

  • kama sio wakikuyu hakuna kitu ingefanyika Kenya. Yet coast province used to power over 60% of the gdp.
  • We are the African jews
  • Uthamaki

Kila mtu atafute pesa kivyake babaa.

Also while at it add a link to how Uhuru messed Kenya for future generations permanently.

When Uhuru changed notes mlisema ni Ruto amejaza container ya hizo mabrowns, was even hoping tutarudi kwa thao mzee. Anyway, wacha jambazi wanukishe kitunguu (hakuna kitu mtafanya). Jamaa za washwash zitaingia job na new strategy. Nice news website btw, ongezea traffic, unukishe pia kama Kenyans.co.ke.
