Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Look at EABL after foreigners took over management, sometimes it takes understanding of our peculiar culture and habits to thrive. It is not a matter of whether they are able to or not -- of course Kenyans are able to. The problem is the tribalism, cronyism, nepotism, corruption, etc. And running Google is very different from running Safaricom: a politician has almost no sway on what a Google Head does, with most policy stuff handed down. I have seen you quote EABL once or twice in this respect and in truth I do not know how it has fared, but probably the fact that I don't know means it has not done as badly as KQ did under Naikuni

The problem is the GOK + Safaricom (or any company actually) combination. And the Jubilee government at that!! Kenyans can run stuff!!! We are mostly Kenyans here aren't we?? We run stuff our own way. Next you will tell us Equity is run by a Kenyan, Sijui Centum is run by a Kenyan, Sijui Chandaria... Shida ni Serikali mzee. And the Kenyan who will be selected by individuals with other agendas other than the performance and profitability of the company. Are we tugeza!!!??? Never count on making a good sale.

The losses were borne by "private" guys. 2) NBK, KPLC, KQ, etc. The list is long. A competent CEO but one who owes his appointment to GoK is vulnerable. 3) KLM shares > GoK shares in KQ with Naikuni (ex-GoK) as CEO. Even then we saw what happened at KQ. Over $1bn lost in less than 7 years. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
