I don't see that route being taken again.Certainly no.
How long before the hole can be filled?
The emergency debt from GoK is still debt that has to be repaid.
Then there are the loans from KSB.
There are creditors who are in line to be paid or they will not supply goods/services.
KPLC says it is owned a huge sum for supplying power to Mumias as well as 'penalties' for not supplying power per the PPA.
Have the workers been paid?
Have the farmers been paid what they were owed?
BTW, Gareth George, after he started the process of righting KCB was kicked out. Terry Davidson was brought in after GG refused not to go after Moi's guys. A successful turnaround but only after GoK started diluting its stake.
Brenneissen (of Bamburi) was made executive KPA chairman but once he started stepping on toes, he was kicked out too.

There was Leakey as Head of the Civil Service. Same story.
Brian Presbury left after restructuring KQ from a loss-making moribund airline to a profitable, growing airline. After his contract ended, Naikuni & friends took over. The rest is history.
Odieros are for the short haul. Once they out-grow their britches & look to consolidate their positions/progress, the masters kick them out. You can't have them denying the power-that-be the share of the sweet pie?
Mumias - Let's see what happens. Good luck!
