NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 25 – 60 per cent of Kenyans support the demonetization of the old Sh1000 notes, a survey released on Thursday by Infotrak showed.
The report also indicated 63 per cent of respondents interviewed support the September 30 deadline for phasing out of the old notes in favor of new ones unveiled on June 1.
