Sanlam Kenya sank into a shock Sh1.53 billion net loss in the six months ended June largely on bad investment decisions, the non-bank financial services firm's books show.

The company was forced to write off Sh1.15 billion mainly related to bond investments in firms in financial distress, plunging it into losses from a Sh90.53 million net profit in the same period last year.
