The same reason it went up.. Nothing tangible!!

chuki Anything VVS holds is normal trashed (somehow except Unga Group), if you have been following them.
@Angel - As a Warren Buffett fan and follower, I am OK with all the kelele ya chura. After all, I get my dividend regularly and sleep at night without worrying about when the CEO will be fired for poor performance!
Unga - Nick Hutchinson has been around for 5+ years as CEO. Isabella Ocholla-Wilson has been around for a few years too.
KenRe - Mwarania is doing OK and there's no talk of replacing him.
I&M - The "old" CEO [now a director] retired at 65 (or something like that) while the Executive Director (48) still runs the show.
KK - Ohana's 4th year as CEO. Mathenge's 4th year as chairman. Profits rolling in!
I can wait out the downturns in share price as long as the CORE business is doing well enough. I expect all the above to do better in FY 2017 vs FY 2016 except I&M like most banks. Even Unga with a tough year (drought, KES/USD) is expected to do better.
Some smaller holdings like Williamson/Kapchorua will take a hit [drought] but I can wait for the "boom" in 1-2 years.
TPSEA will have a tough time due to the elections [low tourist numbers and construction/rehab of Nairobi Serena] but give it 2 years.
Car & General will suffer in 2017 [KES/USD, elections] but I expect a decent 2018.
Why don't I worry unduly about these firms for now? QUALITY MANAGEMENT...
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
