The Morning Call
Many people in Kenya on Monday desperately rushed to swap old 1,000 shilling banknotes in an attempt to meet the Central Bank of Kenya’s final deadline. The Central Bank had declared Monday, September 30th as the last day on which all old local currencies must be exchanged for new ones.
