<p dir="ltr">I have two clarifications for you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">1: Laptop project got the full allocation, we used some of the 17bn this financial year (15/16) hence the balance in 16/17 is less.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2: We bought an extra 10% shareholding in TKL for Kes 1/- and further we bought 40% of the debt TKL owed orange (about Kes 30bn) for another kes 1/-. Meaning in the TKL balance sheet, they owe GoK about 12bn. 40% of the 30bn shareholder loan. Balance is owed to Jamuhuru Holdings which is 100% owned by Helios Fund III </p>
