NAIROBI, May 21 (Reuters) - Kenya's intended debut Eurobond issue is still on despite delays during its post-election crisis, Finance Minister Amos Kimunya said on Wednesday.

"We are still on course," he told reporters. Kimunya declined, however, to give a date for an issue the government had originally said would be worth $300 million and launched in the first quarter of 2008.
