True,but in two-three years things might just change and they might want in on a larger piece of the pie.
am also using this as an example to other companies eg in KK just as large shareholders were negotiating with Puma perhaps the small shareholders block pulling the same move, uchumi to a foreign supermarket chain or even one of the banks....trying to establish if there are any legal hurdles to such a move and if there exists such a precedent in Africa,perhaps the world...
