AccessKenya is one of the largest Internet service providers in the East Africa region, with excellent management and strong sustainable growth potential based on high quality standards. Dimension Data has operated in Kenya since 2007 through three brands: Dimension Data Kenya, Plessey Kenya and Internet Solutions Kenya.

If the transaction is successful, the two companies will be integrated into the AccessKenya business, creating a single operational team led by the existing AccessKenya MD, Jonathan Somen. The IS brand will remain in the market to service the enterprise segment.

This is how.....

The proposed acquisition of AccessKenya will be beneficial to the Kenyan information, communications, and technol- ogy (“ICT”) sector in a number of ways, including:

• the Offer for the acquisition of AccessKenya by Dimension Data signifies a major vote of confidence in the country and its economy. This is a large investment of permanent capital and it further reinforces the attractiveness of Kenya as an investment destination for global multinationals.

• Dimension Data is a global leader in the provision and management of specialist IT infrastructure solutions. By employing global quality and service provision standards, Dimension Data will anticipate improving the competitiveness of the local industry and the performance and productivity of other businesses.

• enterprises will be able to procure a wider variety of ICT services including networking, converged communications, security, data centre solutions, cloud computing and contact centre
technologies. Dimension Data will serve corporate entities across a range of sectors in the economy.

• AccessKenya currently has extensive network coverage. Following the take-over and in order to achieve its strategic objectives, Dimension Data expects to make significant investments in ICT infrastructure and networks, equipment, business operations and human capital.

• Dimension Data also plans to use its Kenyan business as the regional hub for its East African operations. This will further the East African Community aim of having solid regional business operations.

The poor sell their Kidneys cheaply ! When will we get our money at the bank, we do not need too much stories as the stock is not trading!
With the coming ICT at Konza, Access has been sold cheaply. This is the company that will make the buyer rich after our money established its infrastructure. The actual average price could better stand at 21Kes. I guess the Somens are still part and parcel of the buyer and a good lawyer must probe them as they increased their holding having inside information to sell the company. So will the Govt probe them if they invest into the new buyer?

Looking at it keenly, 14 bob is cheap. How can this be negotiated to the range of 18-21 bob by the non-Somens?

Find the next Access. Cheap. Not at 30 but at 5. Then sell at 14. Or form your own IT firm ;-)
