The US Embassy is not ready to accept payment using the new Kenyan currency just yet. The Embassy in a statement said it is currently putting in place new procedures to accept the new Kenyan shillings. "Until these procedures are in place, consular applicants will only be able to pay for services using previous Kenyan shillings. The embassy promised to work with the Kenyan government to put the necessary processes as soon as possible. Traders who usually cross into Uganda via Busia border, Marenga and Mulukoba beaches in Port Victoria town to buy goods have said it is no longer business as usual as banking institutions in the neighbouring country no longer accept Kenyan currencies.
