3.Must have a minimum market capitalization of Kshs. 20 million
Even the crappiest firms [HAFR, Olympia, Neveready] make the cut.

4.A company should ideally be a blue chip with superior profitability and dividend record.
Isn't this subjective?
What is a 'Blue Chip'?
What is superior profitability and dividend record?
Did you know until recently Apple did not issue dividends?
Did you know Berkshire Hathaway does not issue dividends?

So sugar is no longer sweet for NSE20. Sugar and uchumi are good consumption indicators.

Isn't this doctoring the NSE 20 index by removing companies whose share price has dropped and adding companies whose share price has risen?
