Smart Kenyans continue enjoying banking services even as banks close for two days due to election

Banks closed their doors on Wednesday and Thursday as Kenyans went to cast votes. The two day break disrupted banking services, but not for smart Kenyans.

How did people deposit money on Wednesday and Thursday? How did they make NHIF Payments, County Payments and other government payments when Wednesday and Thursday were public holiday?

Well, only smart people using Co-op Kwa Jirani were only able to make these transactions while other waited for banks to re-open on Friday.
