So @moneydust & @RVP are saying that corruption & heavy-handedness are OK?

What happened to the concept of ZERO corruption?

It is when you ACCEPT the notion of corruption or submission that the problems start! When my fathers said nothing (or just grumbled) about kenyatta's corrupt ways [land-grabbing, forgiving ngei the thief, 10% in every business] that we started down a SLIPPERY slope!

Then moi built on it... he ended up with absolute power. Not in one grab but by the citizenry who 'compromised' with the devil... Soon the devil owned us. Lock, Stock & two effing Barrels!!!

@RVP - I know what you are saying but the mediocrity runs through the entire system! KPA, KPC, KPRL, MoE, NOCK. Not to mention the corruption! nyoike & his buddies were out there defending/protecting Triton. The Kenyan taxpayer (aka VVS & friends) paid/lost KES 8 Billion!

In the corporate sector you have *ABSOLUTE POWER* if you are the Chaiman and the CEO at the same time (2006 to date) and if that is not enough you assume role of a spin-doctor aka spokesman. With such powers plus a little bit of arrogance you will never see why KPRL,KPC,KPA should be doing business in Kenya. Infact if you compare & contrast MOI & Jacob I Segman there is a very thin line in their modus operandi.

I also wonder why some people have to call others *idiots*. Infact calling others idiots make you the big one.

If only KK could go 8/- for a nice discounted long term entry. Unlike total kenya, kk is highly diversified with solid biz across the subsahara.

We'll see tomorrow. A low of 8.40 today, though there was a lot of demand at that price range which pushed it up.

KK should just hope for a regime change in 2012 otherwise mambo yao kwisha in the retail sector. You don't step on the toes of regulators in your anchor market and expect to survive at a time when the oil and energy sector is being restructured
