What would be the effects ?

Sport betting has caused almost 2M youths to be listed by CRB (credit reference)

Today at the Meru BBI stupidity, Kimemia says all youth under 35 will be delisted from CRB.

Its obviously meant to bribe the 2M youth to back BBI but most probably will not happen.

but this is Kenya, this kind of thing can actually be done since we have hard core criminals as leaders.

What would be the effects of simply delisting 2M loan defulters from CRB ?

A failure on the state

Populist nonsense especially if our taxes are used to ‘buy’ indisciplined gamblers

The way things are done here, I don’t think they would repay the loans to get the youths delisted. It would be more like a GOK directive to simply delist without repayment.

CRB will loose credibility. Really what CRB sells is credibility. It will have to cease its operations.

CRB is already useless. Lenders are still advancing loans to people who are listed. I think they had a kamkutano and decided if they rejected every application from CRB-listed bonobos, they’d go out of business. Siku hizi their only concern is “kama analipa deni yetu vizuri, ni sawa, apewe ingine”.

I would rather see a bailout of Kenyans than have a 5 billion shillings bailout for Kq

That is the normal basis of Credit Worthiness…You only get loans if you already have proof you are a borrower who pays back. :rolleyes:

There was time lenders would deny you loans if you were listed in the CRB, no matter how well you were paying back their loan.

A bill in parliament is enough, otherwise they are just dangling carrots

KCB still won’t give you a loan if you are on CRB

BBI wapelekee mama zao. Ghasia

Y’all seem to forget they own some of.the companies the youth owe. The youths will continue to be used and discarded until wakuwe rada.

The main issue is that casino and betting companies doesn’t care about their players. And there are no laws enforcing the operators to provide their players with various tools - such as deposit limits etc. In several countries in Europe responsible gambling is enforced, and players cant deposit more than they can afford…

The state must make sure the operators take their responsibility, and make sure that people dont bet more than they can afford.

Mwanaume ni kuingia CRB na kujitoa

Loans are given based on your cashflows and outflows. Lenders wakubwa wako na njia zao za kukagua creditworthiness, hawategemei CRB saana. huwezi poteza customer anabank 20k daily juu ya loan alikataa kulipa ya Tala ya 1300 bob
