0.40 / 5.50 = 7.3% which is a decent DY.

Doesn't KenGen have huge loans?
The huge loans also got it into trouble a few years ago.

Well, then what level/amount of loans does KenGen have currently?

I understand you from this angle.Kengen wanted to take a loan for Olkaria V and at that time,their debt to equity ratio couldn't allow.
This is where ARM went wrong,debt to equity ratio wasn't defined and adhered to.

Kengen is assured of market for installed capacity and power produced at pre-determined tariff. ARM wasn't assured of market share or price.

Uhuru doesn't want accountability. Auditor General position will remain unoccupied till 2022.

But KenGen will be fine since "Kengen is assured of market for installed capacity and power produced at pre-determined tariff." Laughing out loudly
