That guy Abraham, is shallow. He doesn't even know why KQ was privatised in the first place! He also assumes that Kenya needs KQ to export flowers. Flower exporters don't necessarily need a Kenyan airline - they just need an airline!

Also, majority of our tourists come by chartered flights, not scheduled ones.

My view is that nationalisation is ill-advised. But if we must do it, we don't have to buy the other outstanding shares.

Se we can just let it be liquidated by the creditors; pick up the assets and form a new airline - New Kenya Airways? That way we don't even have to pay off the debts!


He is right on why KQ was privatized. It was merely the trend borne of Thatchernomics of the 80's and 90's. Thatcherism was characterised by deregulation, flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Kenya simply jumped into the band wagon without considering the full effects.

Privatization was the right thing to do. The mismanagement by Naikuni and friends after Brian Davies left is when the rain started beating KQ.

KQ nationalisation is based on warped logic: that the only way it can become profitable is by making it part of airports authority hence saving it airport levies. However, BA is a profitable airline that operates from a private airport (Heathrow is a private business!). What are they doing that KQ isn't? Simple answer: theft!

Nationalisation will NOT solve theft in KQ. If anything, theft will increase!
The theft will be hidden from us but it will continue.

KQ was better off as a public listed entity, but Kenyans shot down the SPV, choices have consequences. We the people, will give the behemoth it's required monies, for eternity. They will surely not re-approach the public with a privatization offer anytime soon

Irrelevant since one can only deal with their own shares. It doesn't matter what the total dividend Saf pays vs what I receive per share. Same applies to Scan and KQ. Good luck.

The Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) has poked holes into the planned sacking of Kenya Airways staff terming it a waste of resources.
In a statement the association questions the thinking behind the plan when plans to nationalize the airline are at advanced stage and forecast points to quick recovery of the entire aviation sector in the next two years.


Quote:
“It is highly inadvisable and inconsiderate to give staff a three-day notice of unpaid leave, the same workforce having been on 35 per cent pay for the last three months,” said Murithi Nyagah, General Secretary and Ceo KAPA.
“This is against government wish to employers to protect jobs as much as possible,” he said.

The idea of bankruptcy is to wipe the slate clean. Sadly, that's the route GoK is not going down since the Taxpayer is backstopping this BS.

It's common sense that higher priced stocks normally have higher dividend payout. Sit back and think. Would you pay KES 1,000 for Kurwitu stock to receive an 8bob dividend. What is that ratio?

Now you are getting somewhere.
The dividend yield for ScanGroup (albeit it is a special dividend) is spectacular.
KQ vs Scangroup is a great case study.
