By BD REPORTERThe Central Bank of Kenya has extended the appointment of Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) as a receiver manager of Imperial Bank for six months from October 13, 2016. The regulator said this was after a request from KDIC for an extension of the period and the CBK's opinion that it is necessary for KDIC to remain in control of the lender. KDIC was appointed receiver manager of Imperial Bank on October 13, 2015 after the bank collapsed over mismanagement. "In light of the above KDIC will maintain the control, management and conduct of the affairs and business of the institution to the exclusion of its board of directors," cbk said in a statement to the media.
