News Kenyan government working on rescue strategy for EAPCC

Kenyan government working on rescue strategy for EAPCC

Kenya: Trade and Industrialisation Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya says that the government has started work on a rescue strategy for the East African Portland Cement (EAPCC). It has conducted due diligence to reduce the company’s losses and looked into changing the management and upgrading its Athi River plant, according to the Standard newspaper. The cement producer reported a US$12m loss in the half year to 31 December 2018. It also has debts of US$108m.

The EAPCC is planning to sell land it owns for up to US$150m but the government does not believe that this will be sufficient to revive the company. It is currently operating at 50% of its production capacity due to financial restraints. It also plans to further reduce its workforce to cut costs.
