That's very point on. However, from a different perspective my take is.
1. When we praise our leaders for intelligence and political and economic suvvay in protecting the countries young sugar industry that is not read as patronage but prudence, why double standard with TCL. TCL choose a different path to chart a new line of productivity in a sovereign state that did not do it in a similar manner before. The risk taken is huge and the potential is equally enormous. Just imagine, how many transformers are being installed in Kenya and the shortfall with demand. It's almost a fact in Kenya That, as for every born jew boy on eighth day he will get a cut, so is getting connected to KPLC once you are within the 600m radius of a transformer. Thus, connectivity is limited by availability of transformers. Making transformers locally both boost the government agenda and kplcs mission to hook every feasible customer to power and boost revenues as well as spur growth of the nation. The government should be a front runner of protecting it's nationals patriotism, pride, heritage, relevance, strategic positioning on the world map by developing policies that address the plight of well mastered ideologies that encourage the survival of this nation. Failure to, SUCH important sectors has banking, telecommunication, agriculture big Giants at perial of politicized skewed lease renewals, nascent petrol and mining sector would not have taken shape.
@Obiero's list to an investor was point on. But for the progress of the nation and growth of nse, it's a list of shame that needs someone throwing a proper spanner onto.
2. Huge world wide multinationals like Samsung started small, were protected and now are global competitors well protected and coveted by their native companies and across the globe. Naturing talent to make a star that we hide under the table kick and muddy for being the star we wanted is high order hypocrisy and is disgusting to mention.
3. Whether East or west it's Kenyans who will feel the heat/wrath of matting the dragon or whoever has no interest of the nation at heart and then in dismay after having made our bed lie in it with tears and stand for solidarity or whatever political or blah blah.

Jimnah Mbaru and his peers have experience spanning since independence. They know how to identify red flag. Whenever they sell i.e warning flag raised also Wanjiko follow suit.
As for TCL this dude Mbaru got injured coz since listing the uphill task has been slippery.

Seems like someone is angered by Jimnah's move and very sickened about it all together.


Jimnah Mbaru's Tirade on Twira

We need researchers a.k.a think tanks Seabury and Mckinsey. No need of MBA case studies are just cliches in modern corporates perpetuating corruption and massive looting of public and investor resources. There is a paradigm shift in the way things are done in companies.

Really?

A case of too much book smarts and inadequate street smarts.

Did this man have the qualifications to be CEO. He training was in Biochemistry. His father is a major shareholder of TransCentury and the Chairman of Civicon, Transcentury's biggest blackhole:

Baba. There were others in TCL who were also kids of the founders. I am not sure if they are still in TCL or have left.

Seems like Horsey family used the proceeds of Transcentury buy-in to build Vipingo Ridge.

I think the last nail in this coffin has just been hammered in. Maybe this is where they had planned to get their 8 billion. Wooiiie.
