However, the bank noted that the rest of the features will remain the same and that the new banknotes will circulate alongside the older version banknotes currently in circulation.
“The rest of the features remain the same as those of the series issued in 2019. All banknotes currently in circulation remain legal tender and will circulate alongside the released banknotes,” the bank stated.
CBK further intimated that the release of the new banknotes will commence with the Sh1,000 while other notes will follow subsequently.
“Release of banknotes will commence with KES 1,000 while other denominations will progressively follow in the coming months. Details of the banknotes are available at the bank’s website https://www.centralbank.go.ke/,” CBK stated.
