A good number of the loans were/ are 'political'and chances of repayment low, also they are quite old
60 cents looks far too high for me. In the mid 80s the US Federal Reserve sold their bad debts (mainly House Loans)at 25 cents on the $. The Mexicans in early 1990s sold at around 15 cents. Third World debt via the Paris Club has been as low as 8 cents.
This announces the entry into Kenya of Equidebt Collect, a debt collection and purchasing firm, specializing mostly in distressed bank debts.
