Thanks to @KDoDo for the accurate info.
I hope KPLC is "revived" given I own 1/50,000,000 of it!

Will the "new" scrutiny that the Mgmt is under help?
Or will it the same old, same old?

I don't think much will change. I'm salivating at the shorting prospects if NSE had an ETF of GoK firms(owned, controlled and managed) eg kplc, kq, kengen, eapc, mumias, Kenya re, nbk in a single index...the returns since 2015 would have been quite stellar. Due to its broad based composition it would accurately track GoK/political risk/performance as opposed to a single stock pricing/financial performance.

This is the only stat I look at together with cement consumption. In the last year of Kibaki electricity sales was growing 8%. Throw 3 trillion shillings in debt and you end up with 2.3% growth.Pray Pray shit-storm is coming


@wukan
Very very well explained hapo
admin wukan be promoted to a veteran


Those are back of the envelope calculations Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Kenya is red hoooot economy growing at 6% pa and a CNN Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly one hour programme survey (using social media) put it at no. 2 fastest growing economy in Africa and add the BIG 4 and Eurobond 3 on the way, yawa munataka nini wajameni ...............

If you strip down the much vaunted GDP growth stats and exclude GoK related activities (public sector growth) you end up with a a figure of 2.9% which ties in perfectly with credit growth, electricity and cement consumption figures.

Problem here is that the leverage used so far hasn't spurred enough growth to enable its consequent servicing. An anemic private sector portends ill for continued public sector expenditure (debt fueled) seeing as the public sector is 100% dependent on the health of the private sector. You can't cheat the hangman for long. How it pans out remains to be seen.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

Of equal concern is the large number of constructed real estate units that remain unoccupied, most certainly due to layoffs at the middle class range..

That's of little concern given that there is plenty of demand for housing at the RIGHT price/cost. Units are empty since the landlords want higher rents than what renters can/want to pay.

With Dp Rutos,puppet at the helm of Kenya power, we are yet to see the worst.

All they do is loot and loot, look at KPC. Look at treasury with the maize sugar imports. Keter, Rotich etc

They are a bunch of hungary hyenas waiting to pounce and loot Kenya during Samoei presidency.

KCB - Only 17% GoK + 8% NSSF but I don't know who has the reins. I have been a fan of Equity over KCB for years. KCB gets favored over Equity by GoK.
KenRe - Well managed but we saw what happened recently. I will probably bail out if Looto has his way. It can easily go the way of other formerly cash-rich firms. It's harder, not impossible, to steal brazenly from KenRe except for real estate.

Electricity distributor Kenya Power’s 47.7 per cent surge in short-term debt has plunged the company into a Sh16.1 billion negative working capital position, forcing it to open negotiations for loan restructuring.

Kenya Power said last week that it had opened talks with its creditors to extend the payment period for segments of its loan obligations that are due to mature in the current financial year.

“We are beginning to renegotiate part of the loans and convert them into long-term debt to bridge the negative liquidity gap,” acting chief executive Jared Othieno said.

My aversion to GoK-controlled firms, despite my holdings in KenRe, is well documented.
Thanks to @KDoDo for the accurate info.
I hope KPLC is "revived" given I own 1/50,000,000 of it!

Will the "new" scrutiny that the Mgmt is under help?
Or will it the same old, same old?

Your misfortunes with ARM, KQ, Olympia and Flame Tree are equally well documented, to mention but a few..
