- GOK policies for the future see it spending more rather than saving and pleasing share holders.

Power transmission losses can be stubborn to curb sometimes requiring a complete overhaul which means more money spent.

- The mediocre performance announced recently was the straw that broke the investor's back. The growth in profit and customer numbers was marginal in my opinion and is expected to remain marginal in the future.

So yes, peeps are dumping this thing like they just found out its got the herp.

But, like the herp, it won't kill you. If one can stomach slow consistent growth over a long period of time, then this share is good, especially at the PE mentioned in a post above.

Okay, this KPLC thing has started to hurt my portfolio. Wah!! Saw this hash tag on twitter #someoneTellChumo.

He he he.

Hiyo ndiyo shida ya bear. Unangojea share ground floor inafika 3rd floor inaanza kurudi juu. unafikiria itarudi chini tena because you have seen over and over only this time it doesn't happen! Before you know, it is in the 30th floor. All you are left with is a story "Unajua hii share 2015 ilikuwa imefika 3rd floor...."

a lesson to learn how in a similar way the market will leave many waiting for the bottom

If you are positive about the fundamentals of a share, then but pole pole over this period (please not average down). Here you are buying to invest in the company!!!!!

In the 2015 annual report I note the Board of Trustees of the National Security Fund is out of the top 20 shareholders list.
Meaning NSSF disposed of its entire stake in the company

Going forward

1. Safaricom will continue to fatten.
2. KPLC is susceptible to public pressure in that if it makes a huge profit and pays handsome dividends (Mama Ngina will be mentioned adversely as the top dividend receiver) Kenyans will lament and call for reduced costs of thitima with wailer being on top.
3. @ MaichBlack your deadline passed and I see its hovering in lower 13's.

The CEO report in FY 2015 report, does not mention shareholders or investors in the company except for the quoted vision.The most expensive debt at 16% from Equity is not serviced in the year under consideration-not even a cent! I thought they should prioritize most expensive debt over the cheaper ones. I think the management of this company does not value investor returns. I wonder how many shares the CEO owns, i will not be surprised if infact it is zero.

As of Mar 05, 2016, the consensus forecast amongst 5 polled investment analysts covering Kenya Power and Lighting Company Ltd advises that the company will outperform the market.
so BUY BUY remember they have 21.1 billions in reserve
