The Kenya Bankers Association’s (KBA) online chat session dubbed “My Chat with a Bank CEO” will kick off on Friday, March 11 for the first time in 2022.
Held every quarter, the forum features selected Chief Executives of Banks as they engage the public on topical issues in the banking industry while giving their views with a focus on industry-level discussions and industry-level thought leadership.
This year’s My Chat with a Bank CEO will feature Ronald Marambii, CEO Bank of Africa; Peter Makau, CEO DIB Kenya; and Joseph Njuguna, CEO Rafiki Microfinance Bank.
The first session will be hosted this Friday featuring Ronald Marambii, CEO of Bank of Africa who will be exploring opportunities for moveable assets present in facilitating further access to credit, particularly for SMEs.
This interactive session will broadly look at the opportunities the Moveable Property Security Rights Act (MPSR) presents to small businesses and their access to credit.
It will engage the public on the ways the use of the MPSR can be enhanced to provide more value to SMEs, particularly in a bid to accelerate the use of the moveable property as security by both individuals and corporates, introducing new types of collateral that can be used to secure credit.
The chat room opens at 9:30 East African Time while the session with the CEO starts promptly at 10:00. The ability to post comments and questions to the CEO is given on a first-come-first-served basis.

All other participants not in the chat room can still follow the conversation on Twitter under the hashtag #MyChatWithABankCEO
The second session of my chat with a bank CEO will have Peter Makau, CEO of DIB Kenya talking about the Islamic Finance Business Expansion Opportunities.
Over the years, and after the introduction of the Sharia-Compliance in the banking industry, Islamic finance has rapidly grown. Kenya is today one of the leading regional markets for Islamic banking, but despite this growth, what challenges and opportunities exist in the market?
What is the outlook of Islamic finance in Kenya? How are the existing banks keeping pace with demand and ensuring they consistently provide unmatched value to their clients? These are the issues that Mr. Makau will largely talk about.
The third session of My Chat With a Bank CEO is scheduled for the 25th of March featuring Joseph Njuguna as he delves into detail on matters of Intellectual property as possible collateral for youth loans.
The past few years have seen the banking industry adopt a lot from the creative industry, ICT, and other technological innovations. These developments present a great potential for banks to extend credit to the youth. But how far has this gotten? What challenges deter this move that could potentially create sustainable jobs across the country?
Mr. Njuguna will highlight ways in which Intellectual Property—particularly developed by the youth— can be leveraged to facilitate access credit.
He will also explore the opportunities for enhancing business management skills among the youth to ensure that their businesses are guaranteed profitability and growth prospects.
