Total Kenya announced a 90 per cent jump in net profits helped by higher fuel prices and the acquisition of Chevron Kenya, but warned that price controls could hurt margins this year.

Analysts expect rival firm KenolKobil to deliver double-digit growth in profit buoyed by the higher fuel prices.

plus the 4.5bn case. Though not being paid at once.

@Ngapat. I have analysed the Total results on the other Total thread. You should note that 255 million of the PBT came from sale of some of the Chevron Assets agreed with the G.o.K. This is a non-recurring item, so if you take it out of the equation, PAT would have gone up by about 55% and EPS would have been 2.51.

You will note that Kenol had also made some gains in 2009 from the sale of assets. I am uncertain whether they have continued with these sales in 2010. If not, obviously this will have a dampening effect on the comparative results in 2010. Nonetheless the 1st Half results for Kenol were indeed excellent! I am therefore reasonably optimistic on the 2010 results notwithstanding the shenanigans KK had with what some here call "the axis of evil".
