The Kenyan government, through a directive from Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, is channeling more business to the Consolidated Bank of Kenya to bolster its role in financing development projects.

• Consolidated Bank is 93.4 percent government-owned.
• The directive urges ministries, departments, agencies, State corporations, and government-owned enterprises to utilize the bank's services.
• This initiative aims to strengthen the bank's deposit base, transaction volumes, and lending capacity, following its first profit in 11 years (Sh198.18 million in 2025).
