The State's shareholding increased to 73.92 per cent as of June 2016 from 70 per cent in June 2015, after a rights issue in June this year. The National Treasury, which holds the Government ownership in KenGen, converted a Sh20.2 billion debt into equity, which had the effect of pushing up its shareholding. Treasury now owns 4.62 billion shares out of the total 6.24 billion shares.
