Reimbursements to Kenya for troops fighting Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia for the last financial year surpassed the target after the European Union (EU) and its partners wired nearly Ksh5.6 billion ($51 million) between April and June.

The Treasury says in the latest exchequer statistics total disbursements topped Ksh8.94 billion ($81.6 million), marginally exceeding revised Ksh8.74 billion ($79.8 million) by 2.37 percent.
