In 2019, in a rescue agreement orchestrated by the central bank, KCB, East Africa's second-largest lender, purchased NBK, a medium-sized bank formerly owned by the state.

When Reuters requested confirmation of the proposed transaction, KCB did not respond. There was no response from the central bank.
