City lawyer Andrew Musangi, a kin of billionaire entrepreneur Chris Kirubi, has bought a 1.1 percent stake in tyre distributor Sameer Africa with an eye on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) listed company’s prime land holdings.
Mr Musangi, who has accumulated his stock in the company gradually, is betting that the firm will unlock the value in Sameer’s strategically located land parcels.
The lawyer, a son-in-law of billionaire businessman Chris Kirubi, bought an additional 1.2 million shares of Sameer in the year ended December, making him the company’s fourth-biggest shareholder.
His stake currently has a market value of Sh10 million. He says he intends to mop up more shares of the company, arguing that they are under-valued.
“The mistake that people make is that they see Sameer as a tyre distribution company. I see the value in its land and this will be unlocked in the future,” Mr Musangi said in an interview.
