@vvs thank you

If you buy maize from your neighbor and go to posho mill and grind it and sell it kwa soko, unga as a company won't pay attention to you .but if start doing it in large scale like buying a million bags processing and bagging it then you will have ungas attention .
Back to my point trading with Uganda is a small fish in a big ocean. But should you start importing oil from Sudan selling maize to them ,buying weapons from South Africa and not west ,then slowly they will pay some vigilante some money and there will be crisis like resources rich countries congo, south sudan,ivory coast ,Nigeria ,Angola,whose funding all this of course it's well documented and known ,it's the west.
So to answer you question we are safe for now. Because we r dealing with unga kidogo .should we cross that threshold then kenya will be new kid in the block after Akina congo .
Have you ever wondered why any country in Africa that has large deposit of minerals has no peace whatsoever.there will only be peace if and only if the west have legally acquired those shares with crocodile grip and unhooking then leads to massive sanctions and international lawsuits. Buhari the new Nigerian president thought it's easy to unhook the BP and shell companies from the second world producer of oil but he gave up and is dancing to their tune.
I'll leave you with this video ,ggo watch it and come post to me .

@enyands nice write-up. That's why I said "Africans have to take by force what belongs to Africans".It will not be easy but it can be done with concerted effort and the will to do what it takes to succeed.

Let us however not make excuses for mediocrity by blaming the West for Africa's under development. The reasons why Africa lags in development are mostly self inflicted and have been discussed exhaustively on another Wazua thread.

Just 50-60 years ago, Europe and Japan had been bombed back into the stone age. Saudi Arabia, S. Korea and Singapore were 3rd world countries...

I can not vote for Safaricom because technology keeps changing and new ideas may come and make the telco obsolete but no way we can have artificial sugar so MSC remains my top notch choice .

Fellow Africans have killed many other (progressive) Africans. Many blame the West but without the SUPPORT of AFRICANS they could and would not have succeeded be it Patrice Lumumba or Thomas Sankara.

Look at Kenya where leading lights were extinguished in the 60s by willing & complicit KENYANS. Or in Uganda during the 60s & 70s by willing and complicit UGANDANS.

I have one fear .I might be wrong though. With this development of SGR railway it will mean buses from coast will be out of business because most people will use sgr coz it might be faster and cheaper.is there a posibility of sabotage by transport owners eg hire goons to subotage the railway and also what is govt doing to prevent such a thing?
Coz I know at one point in machakos county some goons were hired to put potholes on tarmac that the governor had made so that it can be seen he hired a showdy contractors .just thinking a loud

I'd settle for :
1. Kenya Power
2. Safaricom

With Arap Mashamba in power keep off companies where he has his cronies in mgt

Hahahhaahhahahahahahahaha

All the analysis is great but it comes to zero when the company is not aligned to protecting and creating shareholder value, and that's what u need for a lifetime stock

@Aguytrying & VVS
I stand advised.
KPLC is my siren stock. You see reason, you understand the arguments but you decide to emotionally invest :). How can a monopoly offering an essential service goof? I'm in love with electricity. For life.
