Will KPLC get that tariff hike? http://www.businessdaily.../-/dv0ogkz/-/index.html

Consumption tax everywhere. Power hike, weak GDP and wide current account deficit continued into 2014 will pull the handbrake on equities...

KES saving grace remains eurobond as well as FDI spike due to mining etc. Tourism and agri revenues (egypt yet again like in 2010) are on the back foot unless diaspora remittance provides the expected fx shortfall. KES has been resilient with all the headwinds. But for how long after the election euphoria...

Repeating 2011 with a frothy global econ will not be an interesting outcome at this 5000 lofty height...

Interbank rate spike, inflation spike and KES back to 90 vs USD should be the warning signs for bulls if sustained for more than a quarter (3 mths).

Tuseme Uncle Barry heard our grumbles?

POTUS on Africa - "The more, the merrier." Nairobi to host US’s Power Africa project http://www.nation.co.ke/...a-project/-/996/2081840

Sababu zinginezo; “Kenya is the second most populous country in the region; it has a young, ambitious and well-educated workforce — eager to contribute to development of the country,” reads the introduction in part. smile

The number of multi-millionaires in Nairobi is set to increase by more than half in the next seven years, outpacing growth in some of the most developed countries in the world.

This trend follows the growth of Africa’s super-rich, with statistics showing that the region’s segment of high-net-worth individuals grew by 9.9 per cent in 2012, the second-highest in the world after North America, and above the global average of 9.2 per cent.

According to the latest World Wealth Report by the consulting firm Capgemini, the number of dollar millionaires (people with a net worth over $1 million (about Sh85 million) in Nairobi is expected to increase 62 per cent to over 8,000 from about 5,000 currently by 2020.

Kenya could shoulder a heavy bill for the Mombasa refinery if it accepts a proposal by Essar Energy as the Indian conglomerate exits from the facility.

Essar, the government’s partner in the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Ltd-run facility, wants the government to take over debts owed to banks and other creditors.

Let's see if we can spin this one. If a consumer is used to paying 4,000 for electricity but (more than) half of that has been fuel costs and later pays the same 4,000 for pure* electricity but which costs a bit more (tariff wise) - is there any relief in real terms?
