Maybe if they cede further stake to AVIC-parent company of the contractor CATIC and that will make AVIC majority shareholder of the mall.
The benefit to CENTUM shareholders will then be have been reduced significantly.

Smart move to reduce debt by converting it into equity [at a fair conversion rate & profit] instead of struggling to make payments like ARM.

The Centum dilemma... You know the DJ is a jangili ... but you also know that he gets a good return for his shareholders... as long as interests are aligned.


@target1360 what stocks are you invested in?

It's rare for one's interests to be aligned with folks like Merali or Kirubi. That said, I like the Management of Centum but in the NSE universe, I see better choices, at lower risk, at current prices.

Wapi main structures bado hazijaisha.
5 zoomlion cranes are still at site and they are not moving.

Exit through REIT option but to who;problem is Centum and Kirubi want to make a kill so investors are shying away.


@Ericson keep us in the know if you get some news.

Though I feel that the DJ will not lack money to complete the project, through shafting some investors or otherwise.



Wish the money they gave as bonus to employee they would have used the money to buy some 1,000,000 bags of cement to finish the building. Now they are whining about cash flows yet wanakula. Iv never trusted this dj guy.history speaks for itself. Kenatco, icdc, Uchumi and others that we don't know
