Genghis Capital’s KSh 355 mn Debt Row Intensifies as CMA Jumps in The Capital Markets Authority- Kenya (CMA) has asked Genghis Capital Ltd to provide a repayment roadmap after the investment firm was caught up in a US$2.7mn debt row with a South African businessman. The creditor, Auswell Mashaba, has tasked Moran Auctioneers to seize office assets belonging to Genghis Capital over US$2.7 million in unpaid debt. The investment firm’s efforts to stop the auction met dead ends on Monday when the High Court declined to certify Genghis’ application as urgent saying the court did not find it appropriate to certify it as such. Genghis Capital reportedly took a US$2.3 loan in January 2017 to be repaid at 7.25% interest which the SA businessman later sought a ruling for a total repayment of US$3.1 million at 7.25% until paid in full. “In line with its investor protection mandate, the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) is engaging Genghis Capital Limited to get a roadmap on how the firm intends to address the outstanding debt owed to its stakeholder,” CMA said in a statement.
