It baffles me why Kenya Power and KQ is on anyones list, especially with the recent past in mind. Unless one believes that gova will in your lifetime run companies well and not into the ground, a risk too great to Take

I'm also baffled smile . They are green despite all that inefficiency. Plus they are a monopoly. And a utility. Plus even when I hate them I can't do without them. Plus I believed

All the analysis is great but it comes to zero when the company is not aligned to protecting and creating shareholder value, and that's what u need for a lifetime stock

@Aguy - Applause Applause Applause LIFETIME

@ForSport - The recommendations may be valid (& logical) for the timeframes they indicated BUT we are discussing LIFETIME. I do not trust in another gov't entity called NSSF so am I going to trust GoK to also run my 'lifetime' [aka Retirement] investment? NO.

I have KK as a core holding and even though the price hasn't increased for a long time I am a-OK with the company's performance. The price will reflect that one day.

KPLC's performance is very good for its current share price BUT the Board & Management is appointed by politicians whose interests are often inimical to mine. For a LIFETIME stock, I cannot live with that.

KQ - I have said all that is to be said.
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

@Aguytrying & VVS
I stand advised.
KPLC is my siren stock. You see reason, you understand the arguments but you decide to emotionally invest :). How can a monopoly offering an essential service goof? I'm in love with electricity. For life.

the day you hear the monopoly is broken then that's the time to quit and run. But for now stay put
