The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has issued a public warning against the spread of false information related to the country’s banking sector. In a press release dated November 13, 2024, the CBK noted that malicious actors are attempting to circulate misleading information online and on other platforms to disrupt the stability of Kenya’s banking industry. CBK emphasized that Kenya’s banking system remains stable, resilient, and well-capitalized, reassuring the public that there is no cause for alarm.

The CBK’s statement highlights concerns that such misinformation may lead to unnecessary panic and potentially destabilize the financial sector. “The intent behind these malicious attempts is usually to induce panic,” the release states, further warning that disseminating false information is illegal under the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act and could result in criminal prosecution.

To ensure that Kenyans receive accurate information, CBK urged the public to verify any announcements through official channels. All authentic press releases from the CBK are available on its website and official social media pages, including accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn. Additionally, CBK maintains a WhatsApp channel for verified updates to further reach a wide audience. The public is advised to cross-check any information regarding the banking sector from these official sources to avoid falling prey to misinformation.

The central bank’s proactive stance comes as digital platforms increasingly become conduits for both reliable news and deliberate disinformation.
