And there is information that some of the land will be shared by some of the County officials. Hii inaitwa Land Grabbing through the front door.

If and when it succeeds, hyenas all over the country will want to replicate this in their counties.

I never liked this devil-ution business and I have said that over and over! When people were campaigning for the new constitution (After it was read on their behalf by some individuals) I told them the government will be top heavy, the wage bill will balloon, taxes will inevitably be hiked, tribalism will be institutionalised etc. etc. Here we are!!! How I wish I was wrong!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Full disclosure- I voted for the constitution, but it's painful to watch some of what is happening under the name of devolution. There I can say I underestimated the challenge. It's like a case study of what can happen if you change a constitution without changing the underlying culture of 'kwani hio mali ni ya mamako?'

That is a useless and populist decision by the governor to satisfy the masses and in return grab some of the prime land.

Since the land was leased land value does not affect the accounts, what is lethal is if the tea plants are uprooted. If they take the land and continue farming tea and sell the leaves to the company, then all is well. That's what the companies should negotiate to keep the production on course and let go the soil.

The land may have been leased but there is 'value' to the lease. Let's say the original lease was 999 years or Freehold then there was value for the 'productive' life of the lease.

The primary argument by the leaseholders is that the constitutional [useless buggers who interfered with the final draft of the constitution left so many ambiguities] change takes effect from 2010 i.e. 99 year lease from 2010 whereas the Counties [politicians] say it is from the grant of the original lease. I believe unless the law specifically says it takes place retrospectively, the Tea Firms are in the clear.

The PROBLEM is that when the blood is boiling logic is thrown out the window. Furthermore, [yes, there were historical colonial injustices] the population 100 years ago was minuscule vs the population today. Ironically, 'western' medicine reduced the mortality rate but the rate of breeding continued unabated. The current population is 44mn from 6mn in 1963.

Huge volumes at the last auction. The rains have boosted tea production but prices are falling. Overall, I expect another bumper year for Williamson.

No (significant) debt.
Tea, tea, tea everywhere as the rains have been good.
Decent [not high but not low] prices.
KES stable at 102-ish.
High interest rates on the cash/deposits.

Let the good times roll!

How many Williamson shares did you load when it bottomed out last month ex bonus?
