The former Kenya Planters Cooperative Union has cleared the remaining Sh185 million that it owed KCB, freeing itself from the receivership chains after nearly a decade.
Chief Administrative Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture Ann Nyaga said that part of the Sh3 billion received as coffee cherry fund was directed towards debt repayment.
The old Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (KPCU), now defunct, has been under receivership by the bank since 2009 after it failed to honour its financial obligation amounting to over Sh700 million, owed to the lender, lawyers and farmers.
“We received Sh3 billion from the government meant for coffee advanced fund and part of it went towards paying the debt to KCB
,” said Ms Nyaga.
The acting commissioner of cooperatives Geoffrey Njan’ngombe confirmed to the Business Daily that the debt owed had been fully settled.
