The debt restructuring has eased its debt by 44%.

Standard chartered bank is its biggest lender

That's quite the haircut that SCBK took on EAC but I guess it's better to get some cash than keep a deadbeat debtor on the books!

First the bondholders got a haircut and now loans get completely written off while some other companies can't get them restructured. Quite the negotiators or is it armtwisting?

East African Cables is considering raising new capital from shareholders to run its operations which have been constrained by high finance costs and inadequate funds to deliver contracts.

The company is also seeking to sell assets worth Sh640 million to reduce its debt burden.

d'oh! d'oh! d'oh! They should just take it private. I don't see the minority shareholders being overly excited about giving EAC/TCL more money!

I approached TransCentury because it had acquired the very reputable Civicon and I thought the 29 Masters of the Universe had the vision and influence to successfully promote my Somalia Border Control Project budgeted in 2014 at $260million plus. I was wrong! They had no vision!
