Not many companies in the market have experienced the kind of growth that Tausi has demonstrated since its birth eighteen years ago. During the year 2009, after injection of capital by the shareholders, the company’s paid up capital increased to Kshs 219.9 Million as at December 2008. The company is now fully compliant with the minimum paid up capital requirement of Kshs 300 million.
