Deni bado lipo Kenyan banks n GoK absorbed not more than $300 mln out of $2 bln in that debt to equity exchange. As a matter of fact it was a cosmetic approach to procrastinate debt repayment after maturity.
Govt, banks now control 87 per cent of Kenya Airways
State's stake will rise to 48.9 pc from 29.8 pc, while banks’ stake will stand at 38.1 pc

IN SUMMARY
- Government, banks say they have applied to the Capital markets Authority for exemption from a requirement to make a takeover offer for the airline.
- Debt restructuring plan has been agreed to following long negotiations which saw one bank, Jamii Bora, opt out of converting their loan, and instead choosing to receive their dues over a five year period.
- The Treasury came up with the plan to save KQ from collapse due to the huge negative impact this would have on the economy.

The Treasury and 10 local banks will control 87 per cent of Kenya Airways (KQ) [HASHTAG]#ticker[/HASHTAG]:KQ under the national carrier’s debt restructuring plan which will see them convert loans of Sh44.2 billion to equity.
The government’s stake under the plan will rise to 48.9 per cent from 29.8 per cent, while the banks’ stake will stand at 38.1 per cent, acquired under a special purpose vehicle known as KQ Lenders Co.
Both say in notices posted Monday that they have also applied to the Capital markets Authority (CMA) for exemption from a requirement to make a takeover offer for the airline, on the grounds that the restructuring is on the basis of rescuing a firm in financial distress in the interest of the public.
“KQ Lenders Co will be issued with new shares in KQ equivalent to 38.1 per cent of the ordinary voting shares in the capital of KQ in consideration for conversion of a portion of the debt being equivalent to $167.24 million (Sh17.2 billion),” reads the notices in part.
“The effect of the debt conversion (by the government of Kenya) is the acquisition of an additional 19.1 per cent of the ordinary voting shares of KQ resulting in the increase of the government’s shareholding from 29.8 per cent to 48.9 per cent.”
Huge impact on economy
The debt restructuring plan that was first mooted in June has been agreed following long negotiations which saw one bank, Jamii Bora, opt out of converting their loan, and instead choosing to receive their dues over a five year period.
The Treasury came up with the plan to save KQ from collapse due to the huge negative impact this would have on the economy, affecting the transport, logistics and tourism sectors which depend on the airline.
A KQ collapse would also cost the economy thousands of jobs, and affect Kenya’s ability to attract investment given that Nairobi’s ease of connection to global cities has been cited as one of the reasons companies base their regional offices in the country.
Banks would suffer immensely as they would have to write off billions of shillings in bad loans and also lose out on other trading income they receive from the airline.

Hizi ni assets gani unaongea kuhusu?
The main assets in an airline are the aircraft. They take probably 95% of all assets. For an airline with few planes like EAA, a single plane can mean a huge percentage of total assets.
In this case, one plane was something like 20% of the company.
You should ask yourself. Did Tanzania deserve to retain even a single plane?
If Kenya was funding 100% of the operation, absorbing 100% of all loses, and owed tens of millions of dollars, did Tanzania deserve 20% of EAA?
At most, you should have gotten 0.5% as gratitude for being silent founding partners.
Lakini mkaiba ndege nzima.

In your eyes you only saw planes, there is ground equipment, there non removable assents, aircraft hangers, offices, staff housing, pension, insurance even as little pen and paper. EAA was not Kenyan property, it belongs to community regardless who put what. If those assets where to be sold like any other devolved company, everyone would've pickup their slice of profit or loss.

And what part of 'liabilities exceeded the assets' didn't you understand. EAA was bankrupt.
EAA was liquidated by its creditors, of which the Kenyan government was one. (Clearly you didn't read that link I sent you.)
In fact, the one plane you stole and used to start Air Tanzania was legally owned by Kenya. In accounting books, it was considered 'leased' to you.

I don't know whether you understand accounting.
If EAA was sold, the money would have gone to the people/organizations it owed money to. The major one being Kenya.
That's exactly what happened, only that instead of being sold, Kenya repossessed some aircraft. British Export Credit also took some aircraft.

Look, air Tanzania they went into corporation with South African Airway. When things didn't work out we sat down and call it a quits, all assert where distributed according to the formation of the union.
There so many issues needed to be resolved, one of them is pension. There hundreds and hundreds of community workers haven't been paid their pension because country like Kenya refuse to sit down and resolve the issues. Mnaruka ruka tu with no clear answers, some workers they even died without seeing a cent from their respective organizations. EAA was not the only organization, there other organization such as EA Railways, EA Harbour, EA Post and Telecom, EA Develop Bank etc.

Many companies submit employee pension deductions to the National pension fund. In Kenya NSSF.
I assume EAA did the same with its employees, meaning Kenyan employees are owed pension by NSSF and Tanzanians by your own pension fund.
This protects employees in case the company goes under.
But still, in the unlikely situation that EAA was running a private pension fund, it still would have been unable to meet obligations, whether Kenya agreed 'to sit down' or not.
Money could not have been created from thin air. EAA was dead and its assets liquidated by creditors.
For the others, EA Railways, EA harbor etc. I would want a case by case breakdown of finances and what went down. Tanzania has a lot of misinformation and if the case of EAA is proof, it's likely Kenya was singlehandedly funding all these enterprises.
Afterall, only Kenya has been consistently keen on a successful East Africa Community.
