Things are not getting any easier for Patrick Njoroge, governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. 

Euromoney first interviewed him in early 2016, shortly after he had taken office in Nairobi, after 20 years working at the IMF in Washington DC. 

Njoroge described the tough start to his tenure: “This place was burning, inflation was surging, the exchange rate was dropping like a stone, there were pressures on the current account”.
