This objective is achieved by ensuring that banks can meet the needs of their customers. This study determined the effect of liquidity risk management on the financial performance of Kenyan commercial banks. The investigation was founded on the theory of liquidity management shiftability. The paradigm of Positivism served as the philosophical foundation for the investigation. The study incorporated both explanatory and longitudinal research designs into its methodology. The study's target population consisted of 32 Commercial Banks in Kenya. The study utilized panel data consisting of time series and cross-sectional data spanning a decade from 2010 to 2019.
