We expect that this legal and regulatory framework will promote a viable and sustainable system of microfinance in Kenya by ensuring that licensed MFIs contribute to poverty alleviation and at the same time comply with the requirements of financial sector safety and soundness.
Through this we expect that the fast-growing Kenyan microfinance industry will develop into an integral part of the financial system in Kenya, and will play a pivotal role in deepening financial markets by expanding access of affordable financial services and products to majority of Kenyans.
