Kenyan teachers to inject $3.75m more into ECB

Kenyan teachers are set to increase their exposure in Equatorial Commercial Bank, which they controversially acquired last year, through a cash call meant to help the bank comply with Central Bank regulations and lay a foundation for growth.

The bank has issued a notice to its shareholders, asking them to approve the injection of Ksh500 million ($5 million) in new capital after accumulated losses wiped off more than 60 per cent of its capital last year.
