The Treasury is seeking to borrow fresh funds from the Trade and Development Bank (TDB) to clear a Sh51.6 billion ($400 million) syndicated loan due to the multilateral lender next month.

The refinancing option will see Kenya avoid committing taxes to settle the debt at a time when the Treasury faces growing expenditures amid slower revenue growth.
