Kenya: East Africa Portland Cement Company has defaulted on a long-term loan from KCB Bank. The bank has demanded immediate repayment of the full loan, according to the Business Day newspaper. The cement producer’s current liabilities grew by 70% year-on-year to US$126m in the financial year to June 2019. In a report made to parliament Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu said, “This movement was largely due to the transfer of long-term loans to current liabilities on account of default on existing loan covenants.”
