As you said, when the courts ultimately rule in favor of OMCs, they could be written back to boost profits in a slow year. That said, folks aren't dumb enough not to see through it.

As Warren Buffett says: We don't mind lumpy earnings as long as the overall returns meet our expectations. Ohana expects a better 1H 2017 vs 1H 2016. Elections make 2H 2017 difficult to figure out. Sad reality. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

March 7 (Reuters) - Kenolkobil Ltd
FY ended Dec 2016 profit before tax 3.54 billion shillings versus 2.78 billion shillings year ago
FY ended Dec 2016 group net sales of 103.50 billion shillings versus 86.55 billion shillings year ago
* Board recommends final dividend of 0.30cts Quality. Even with lower oil prices turnover is up 20% and volumes +30% even after selling Tanzania operations. Solid dividend. The outlook for 2017 looks even better according to Ohana. 30 new sites in 2016 which will add to volumes and profits in 2017. Profits and cashflow unlike some firms we know. ππΌππΌππΌ KPRL write-off of 600mn and perhaps more in 2017 but if and when it is paid it can be written back into profits. Total has sued KPRL and it can take 5 years but we can wait. Impressive. KK is increasing revenue hence market share, this time with the profits to go with it. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Certainly one of two excellent businesses on the NSE whose management is able to read, internalize the challenging environment and respond with brilliant execution.
The humility in Ohana is very admirable. I know of a few other CEOs who would be gloating and giving countless interviews or collecting PHDs on the back of such a recovery. I believe the media need to shine the spotlight on David for the remarkable turnaround especially coming in the wake of all that illumination that was wasted on Jonathan Ciano.

Ohana was clear that KK wants PROFITABLE market share. Not market share for the sake of market share. KK has reduced the number of dealer-owned stations in Ethiopia coz they were not as profitable as they could have been. Ethiopia is now profitable. All subsidiaries are profitable. Zambia and Burundi are debt free. He has conceded KK will not be debt free in 2017 on the back on increased oil prices and larger market share which requires more Working Capital BUT the debt:equity and debt:turnover has dropped significantly. With oil prices between $50-60, debt will remain at current levels. LPG sales are growing monthly as KK puts more cylinders into all its markets even Ethiopia. As much as I want a buy-out, if there's none then KK will still grow its profits. Let's be clear, there will be good and bad days. Overall, KK can expect good growth in 2017 as long as we don't burn up the country in Aug/Sep! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

I hope it never happens but just to cover all bases let me ask, do petrol stations have insurance against political violence? If say somebody demanded haki yetu and a petrol station was looted and set on fire are they covered by the insurance?
