NMG revenue and profit have been on a downward trajectory since 2013.

2017; R=10.6bn; PBT=1.3bn
2018; R=9.7bn; PBT=1.1bn

Now they report a 24% drop in HY PBT

What do you think will happen by end of year?

The trend is very clear.

Time for those who are in to implement exit strategies - you do have exit strategies, don't you?

And you can imagine that this comes after massive lay offs.. Less staff and increased losses.. Surely surely. The two men have messed us all up


First family is in direct competition with NMG. NMG has shown great resilience not to have gone under by now.

NMG needs to adapt fast and grow revenue before they turn into another failed company:

1. Reinvigorate old revenue lines
a) Nation Courier - use assets to distribute more parcels as print paper distribution decreases;
b) Nation Business Directory - Should have gone online by now.
c) n-soko - Whatever happened to this?

2. Invest in new business lines:
a) Digital news distribution channels;
b) Events and promotions;
C) Niche market radio and TV stations;
d) Financial data services like Reuters.


All this are good ideas,so long as the board remains the same they won't see light of the day.
The board is still stuck in the old way of doing things

We have sang this song for so long here. Whatever happened to N-soko such that olx came and thrived in a space they had established?

You know, some years back Kiboro spoke in one of the AGMs and said that his grandchild never reads newspapers and doesnt care for news, yet that same year, he went on to approve the massive newspaper investment.

The one I would have been ready to take up arms against was the ban on milk hawking. Ati you have your own cow but cannot sell milk to whoever you want like humans have been doing since cows were domesticated. I am glad they backed down but just shows you their greedy intentions.
