Thanks @Obiero. Rumour mill has it that Dr. Mwangi is in secret talks to buy Airtel Ke. to give Member a boost in mobile money. Interesting times a head on Safcom stock You got jokes, does safaricom compete with Airtel or Microsoft? IBM? Western Union? Money gram? The market that Safaricom operates on is not just voice and sms, but cloud computing, money servises, Big data etc etc. It would be very stupid for the govt to declare a company that seeks growth as dominant to favor a company that has REFUSED to invest and innovate, but just play the market variables and dynamics. It would be a welcome move if Mwangi intends to buy Airtel KE but he should invest and infrastructure and creativity to grow it Safaricom is still a very small company in the technology space "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

@Flo-ology Dr Mwangi buying Airtel ke would be a positive and welcome move. The jobs Bharti transferred to India in the name of cutting costs will be brought back. The company would also have kenyan managers instead of Indians Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Time: 23/01/2017 12:50:57 Kenyan shilling has started strengthening again versus the dollar It is not that the KES is strengthening but rather that the dollar is retracing its earlier gains. For the cbk, the trick is to strike a balance between defending the KES and maintaining life support for banks. Success or failure in either will determine how the rest of the year unfolds. Notice how the interbank rate currently @9.22% has recently strongly correlated to performance of the KES. Cbk can't have its cake and eat it at the same time. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

Guka wa bijoti na Mugate wa Kumanyoko, you have been to places in Kenia and seen things during those many years you have eaten salt. Please Guka, help me on this issue because all I am seeing is malundulundu. Please translate for me what is going on in this Our Land and Nation if the following is happening in The UK - United Kisumu. Quote:Kisumu Water and Sewerage Company (Kiwasco) is set to begin rationing water in parts of Kisumu in efforts to manage a prolonged dry spell that has hit the country.

Time: 27/01/2017 12:26:36 In 2007, one US$ was exchanging at Ksh 70; in 2017, the exchange rate is Ksh 103 to 1 US$. Any chances the exchange rate will be lower than 103 in future? Historical exchange rates can be found at this <<link>>

Data and contextQuote:Many people, for instance, wonder why our debt, which is only 50 per cent of GDP, should be a concern, while many industrialised countries’ debt to GDP ratios are more than double ours, yet they are not in distress.
Take the US, with a debt equivalent to 107 per cent of GDP. The US spends only eight per cent of revenue to service this debt. We on the other hand are spending more than a third of our revenue to service debt which is less than half that of the US relative to income. What explains this? Quote:Sooner or later, our debt ladder will run out of rungs. You can take that to the bank. If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
