I continue to stay far away from from GoK owned, controlled or heavily influenced firms.
My sole exception is KenRe but I watch it carefully. Any sign of funny business and I cut and run.
Safaricom, despite GoK Treasury's 25%, is controlled by Vodafone (40%). That has saved the firm from being a cash cow for connected folks. Thieves, Thieves, Thieves ............ glad i bailed out In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Kenya Power has taken loans worth Sh105 billion, as it accumulates debt to fund its large infrastructure projects. A breakdown of the loans in its 2016 financial statements shows that the company has been most aggressive in accumulating credit in the last three years, doubling its debt from the Sh53 billion it had at the end of June 2014.

You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

I expect this share to charge past kengen if the current nse recovery continues. ...buy...it's within the best price range you can get and among the easiest counters to double ......when the tide comes all garbage is lifted "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

That's very true..too much of fear makes one a poor investor.I have staked my everything on this share. How can you be wrong with a monopoly,dealing in a precious commodity and beneficiary of govt grants. At this rock bottom prices really, where is the risk?

Lets say the debt and government appointed management makes kplc an investment that is beyond my circle of competence. Good luck. I find satisfaction in owning great business,not trading them

does kplc realy have absolute pricing power like a real monopoly? i don expect kplc to ever make super normal profits in the fore seeable future. The earning and dividends are tiny. The management is below par due to political influence high investment costs for ppe. cleary kplc is simply beyond me I find satisfaction in owning great business,not trading them
