How is it that an insolvent company KQ is still listed and trading?
The authorities are sleeping on the job.
I agree it is insolvent. Do you expect Kenyan securities exchange authorities to delist KQ? Which image will it send locally and internationally? Mtangoja sana KQ iwe scrapped off the NSE trading. It will never happen in Kenyan soil.
Though the price will keep moving down to 50CTS.
Stock trading suspension can be done.It is not de-listing. The problem is that KQ stock is cross-listed on the USE, RSE and Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange. Authorities there can suspend trading and it will trigger action by NSE. If the loss next year will still be huge then anything can happen. Hakuna stori ya kusema eti mtangoja.
Probably if Raila was president that would work, but not under this regime.. GoK is KQ and KQ is GoK. Our neighbors would dare not suspend it, they are alert to the political ramification. Plus as I have said here severally, airlines across the world run frequently on negative equity but that does not intrinsically imply that the carriers are insolvent.
Personally I would rather walk to Rwanda than have to fly Rwandair in the abscense of KQ
