In this episode of CDH Conversations, Desmond Odhiambo and Faith Wamuyu demystify what it really means when a company is said to be “unable to pay its debts” under Kenya’s Insolvency Act. We break down how courts assess insolvency, what the cash flow and balance sheet tests really involve, and how even a temporary cash crunch can spiral into a full-blown insolvency petition if you don’t act fast.

Join them as we explore strategies companies can use to navigate temporary financial strain before it's too late."
