Kenya has opted out of fully drawing a Sh193.8 billion ($1.5 billion) loan facility from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to its high pricing.

An official from the Treasury has indicated that the financing facility is now out of the picture, due to high costs as the country sees the scope for cheaper funds from institutions such as the World Bank.
