KenGen seeks Sh5.8bn refund from State for geothermal wells
http://www.businessdaily...6/-/i11fre/-/index.html
"“This amount has been outstanding since 2013 and earmarked to be settled in the current fiscal year,” said KenGen managing director Albert Mugo." GoK raised 20bn juzi but KCB wants 7bn or so. KenGen wants 5.8bn. There are payments to be made for roads. And water projects. How will GoK pay everyone?
Then GoK says things like:
“This will be settled. Remember they also owe us money in form of dividends,” said Joseph Njoroge, Energy PS in charge of electricity. “The wells belong to the government and were developed using a loan facility which KenGen paid for on behalf of the government,” he added.
What does that mean? Why didn't GoK tell KenGen to offset the dividends since 2013? Or offset against Income Tax. Or VAT payments.
Anyway... To KenGen shareholders. Good Luck.
