Power producer Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has taken a Sh2.4 billion tax hit after paying dividend arrears to the Treasury, in a year when the firm froze payout to shareholders.

The Sh5.7 billion dividend payment, which had accrued over four years, prompted the tax payment to the Kenya Revenue Authority.
