1.000 Shilingi / Shillings

The 1,000 Shilling note went through three distinct signature combinations across this series, reflecting genuine institutional turbulence at the Central Bank. Andrew Mullei, who signed the 2005 issues as Governor, was suspended in 2006 amid a high-profile dispute with the Kenyan government over the Anglo Leasing scandal — a procurement fraud involving inflated security contracts that implicated multiple ministries. His replacement by Erastus Mureithi as Deputy Governor mid-series makes the 2005 Mullei-signed notes a minor collector point, as his tenure ended abruptly rather than through routine succession.
