Political analyst and governance expert David Osiany has been the latest notable Kenyan to second the Central Bank of Kenya's (CBK) recent recalling of Sh1000 notes.
Speaking on Tuesday morning, he noted that the move will go a long way in delivering the nation which has for long been battling the corruption menace.
He said that the shocker announcement made on Saturday has led to panic among corruption cartels stashing billions out of banks, forcing them to get a way of laundering it.
The former Rongo parliamentary aspirant said that the group is most likely already looking for avenues of utilizing the money before it loses its relevance on October 1.
This, he argued, is with consideration that banks must have been directed to be extra cautious with people seeking to deposit huge amounts of money, to lock the corrupt out.
"Wakenya wasiwe na woga maana watu mara nyingi huogopa mageuzi. Wafisadi sasa hawajui wafanye nini ama wapeleke pesa ambazo wamekuwa wakificha wapi (let Kenyans not fear as on most occasions people do fear changes. The corrupt are now panicking and are at loss on where to take the money they have been hiding)," he said.
The youthful politician was speaking on Radio Maisha's Bunge La Maisha show on Tuesday morning.
Osiany predicted a situation where the people will begin sharing what they have with their servants and other less fortunate people close to them, benefiting the nation indirectly.
He said that the money will find its way in rotation whether or not the owners like it, strengthening the economy in the process.
"Sasa watapeana pesa kwa marafiki ambao watalipia wenzao hospitali na kununua vitu ambazo wamekuwa wakikosa. Baada ya miezi kadhaa economy itakuwa happy (they will have to give out the money to others, the money ending up in hospital bills and acquisition of necessities. The economy will be happy in a few months)," he added.
CBK governor Patrick Njoroge cited realization that the notes are being used for illicit delsings as one of the reasons why its being faced out.
