Our team advised MCB in relation to the security release of certain secured petroleum assets that the borrower was selling to a third party.
We advised on the proposed release mechanism to ensure that the lender was paid from the purchase price whilst protecting its interests. We reviewed the security agreements and partial discharge of charge and attended to its perfection.
We had to think carefully about the mechanism for release of the security to ensure that the sale transaction could proceed to completion while ensuring that the lender was adequately protected. The notice on the deal is here: https://gulfenergy.co.ke/downloads/communication-to-suppliers-and-partners.pdf

Electronic Travel Authorisation: Visa in disguise?
During Kenya’s 60 th independence anniversary celebrations on 12 December 2023, the president directed that Kenya will be a visa-free country, effective from January 2024. This development in the immigration sector is now implemented through the electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system that was unveiled on 5 January 2024. Notably, the eTA system departs from the public understanding of a visa-free experience as travellers (including infants and children) are required to obtain the document before embarkment. Travellers who expected a seamless entry into the country have aired their disappointment with the unexpected costs and additional documentation for persons from initially visa-exempt countries
