Quick recovery to DJK. I am holding to my shares. I believe in Mworia and the diversification at senti-um. This company will surprise you in the near future!

So far no one has mentioned this Sabic school that is to open in September. Do elite schools like Hillcrest or Braeburn make a lot of money? The sabic school seems to be in their class.

Thanks. I thought Centum has consolidated all their bottling operations under Almasi.

"The firm — which is the holding company for Kisii Bottlers, Mount Kenya Bottlers based in Nyeri and Rift Valley Bottlers in Uasin Gishu County"

“Centum is … bringing our total shareholding to 50.95 per cent of the issued share capital of the company and resulting in Almasi becoming a subsidiary of Centum,” the firm’s CEO James Mworia said in a statement Monday.

The investment firm says Almasi has the second largest share of the Coca-Cola bottling business in Kenya after Nairobi Bottlers where it has a 27.62 per cent stake.

If Centum can find a financing and operating partner then this will be another decent "fair value gain" in Centum's books. The question is "when?" and the sooner the better!


Forget about the coal power plant for now.
It's not being built any time soon.

Yes, a $2bn power plant isn't like installing a solar panel.

And just like that General Electric buys a KES 40 Billion stake in Amu Power...

American energy firm GE Power has bought a Sh40 billion stake in the Centum-fronted 1,050MW Lamu coal-fired electricity generation plant.

GE Power’s Chief Commercial Manager Michael Keroulle’ yesterday said the deal will see the American conglomerate allocated 20 per cent shares of Amu Power.

The fresh capital injection will be used for acquisition of plant machinery, a boiler and steam turbine generator built using GEs latest clean coal technology as well as air quality control systems.

“The technology greatly reduces emission of Sulphur Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides and particulates (dusts) to levels comparable to gas fired power plants,” he said.

Mr Keroulle’ spoke after he represented GE in signing a deal with the project’s developer Gulf Energy.

What stake did Centum hold before the GE dilution?

The timing (buying Sidian) was bad BUT who knew?
Even JM seemed caught out by it though he managed to steer Equity through the crisis. Of course, Equity has a very different profile from Sidian.
I think Centum may need to inject more funds into Sidian.

I remain bullish on Centum but not so much on Sidian unless there's a drastic overhaul in their business model.

Centum wasn't ready/prepared to run a commercial bank.
Funds were injected just recently the second in two years.Case of throwing good money into a bad investment
