Kenya’s National Treasury is looking to raise up to Ksh20 billion ($155 million) from listing of state-owned corporations on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).

It is also considering a further reduction of its shareholding in those firms already listed, with the proceeds expected to offset part of pending bills estimated at Ksh700 billion ($5.42 billion).
