KENYA SACKS CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR

KENYAN President Daniel arap Moi has fired the governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Micah Cheserem, replacing him with a relatively unknown former central bank official. Cheserem, a former top accountant with the British conglomerate, Unilever, still had three months of his second four-year contract to serve as the country’s chief banker, when Moi’s hammer fell. – AFP
