The Central Bank of Kenya has signalled renewed push for telecoms to spin off their mobile money transfer and lending units, saying this protects the entities from shocks from other business lines.

While announcing the completion of the split of Airtel Money Kenya Limited from Airtel Networks Kenya Limited on Tuesday, CBK termed it a “milestone” that will enable the new unit to “enhance governance over its mobile money business.”
