TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya took Sh14.5 billion worth of short-term loans in the year ended December as its working capital requirements increased sharply on the back of higher fuel prices and debt owed by customers.

The new loans saw its finance costs more than triple to Sh919.8 million, contributing to the company’s 10.7 percent decline in net profit to Sh2.4 billion.
