At the end of the day as a government, we have a great responsibility to take care of the welfare of our citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the CBK disclosed that it would take stern action against five commercial banks that have either been exporting or holding huge foreign exchange thus putting undue pressure on the shilling.<\/p>\n<p>CBK Governor Prof Njuguna Ndung\u2019u said the regulatory actions would deter them from speculating further and thus profiteering from the depreciating shilling.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Economic Secretary Dr Geoffrey Mwau has expressed optimism that the shilling will continue to strengthen in coming days supported mainly by increasing tourism and export earnings.<\/p>\n<p>He is also confident that the currency will stabilise particularly after the government managed to eliminate the distortions that were responsible for its plummeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the fundamentals are fine and as long as we coordinate our policy directions and at the same time engage the financial sector players we are going to see the exchange rate getting stronger,\u201d he said on the sidelines of a meeting attended by visiting Lord Mayor of London Right Honorable Michael Alderman Bear.<\/p>\n<p>The economist however declined to speculate on what levels the shilling would stabilise at saying that would be determined by the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we do not want to see is huge fluctuations or huge jumps in the exchange rate but we want to see some stability in the market because we need predictability,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke a week before the CBK\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee special meeting where he disclosed that they would be seeking to firm up the policy direction.<\/p>\n<p>Although he remained guarded as to whether the team would increase or lower the Central Bank Rate, he did say that the intention was to ensure that the policy stance was consistent with the country\u2019s development objectives some of which are to stabilise the exchange rate and tame inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether the government had run out of options to deal with this twin problem given the haphazard and half-hearted responses it had implemented in the last few weeks, Dr Mwau maintained that there were still many alternatives available to it.<\/p>\n<p>(Additional reporting by Evelyne Njoroge)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 8 &#8211; The government has indicated that it will seek an early disbursement from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under the extended credit arrangement.
