According to Citizen TV, Kenya’s cabinet has approved a proposal by Kenya Airways (KQ) to seek a syndicated loan of Sh77 billion from US Based Export-Import Bank and a group of local banks.
Citizen TV reports that the cabinet met last week and gave the go ahead with assurance that it would act as the airline’s guarantor. In the proposal, KQ will seek Sh54 billion from the export-import bank of the United States while the balance of Sh 23 Billion will be given by a few local banks.
The media house further reported that the Cabinet had also “approved the conversion of its Sh4.2 billion current loan to KQ to be converted into equity, a move that would likely see an increase in its shareholding going forward.”
The loan request by the airline is however expected to go through a final approval by the national assembly in the interest of tax-payers whereby the Government owns 29.8 percent.
