Addressing the Media on Thursday, February 27, John Mbadi said that the multi-billion-shilling loan has a fixed interest rate of 9.5 per cent and will be repaid in three instalments in 2034, 2035, and 2036.
The loan which was acquired through a Eurobond issuance has so far received an oversubscription amounting to KSh646 billion from investors.
