Kenya received Sh6.98 billion in reimbursement for its troops fighting Al-Shabaab militia in Somalia in the financial year that ended June, which translates to a 93 percent jump ahead of full withdrawal from the peacekeeping mission in under two years.

The refunds from the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), formerly the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom), grew from Sh3.60 billion in the previous year.
