Chinese government has assured Kenyans that no local assets have been used as collaterals in securing various loans for infrastructural projects.
Ambassador Wu Peng said that all loans Jubilee government has secured from Beijing since 2013 were all lined up with international best practice.
Peng further stated that no asset will be seized by China even if Kenya defaults.
The sentiments came amid claims that the Mombasa Port was used to secure the KSh 327 billion loan for construction of Nairobi-Mombasa SGR line.
