Investment firm TransCentury has tapped audit and consultancy firm KPMG as it seeks a plan to clear a Sh2.5 billion ($20 million) loan due to Equity Bank Kenya, and piling interest charges, amid a battle to avoid going under receivership over the defaulted facility.

The disclosure comes as court extended an order blocking Equity Bank’s appointed managers - George Weru and Muniu Thoithi from PwC- from acting as administrators of the firm and its sister company East African Cables.
