Nelson Amenya, popularly known for exposing the Adani-JKIA deal, has dropped another bombshell, this time about an alleged clandestine redesign of the Kenyan currency barely a year after the upgrade of security features on the money.
Taking to X on Monday, June 2, Amenya claimed that the government had changed the design of the currency and had already embarked on mass printing of the new currency in Germany without informing the public. "The Government of Kenya has quietly changed the design of our currency and is now printing it in Germany without any public disclosure or participation," Amenya claimed.
Notably, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor, Dr Kamau Thugge, had revealed in August 2024 that the government had contracted a German firm to print its currency, without revealing its identity.
