Abstract: Using the Fokker-Planck equation we have studied the drag co-efficient A(t) and the consequent shift Δp⊥(L) in the transverse momentum due to collisional energy loss of energetic partons while passing through a chemically equilibrating quark-gluon plasma. Based on these we estimate the quenching factor Q(p⊥) when the medium is undergoing longitudinal expansion governed by master rate equations. In contrast to the case of chemically equilibrated plasma investigated earlier by Mustafa and Thoma \cite{mus} we find less quenching because our calculated Q(p⊥) is always greater at all momenta. This result is attributed to the weak drag coefficient operating during initial state interactions.
