New challenges include drought and energy and food prices are rising," said the IMF.Kenya's Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani said the release of the money followed the conclusion of the IMF mission's second review of the country's 38-month economic program.Yatani said Kenya will sustain ring-fencing of priority social spending and support those affected by the ongoing drought.
