It is obvious that employees are gaining more than shareholders which should never be the case.

Didn't Mworia use that money to buy Centum shares?
http://www.businessdaily...4/-/fkv6cp/-/index.html
"Centum’s chief executive James Mworia has acquired four million shares worth Sh207.4 million in the investment company, breaking into the list of the firm’s top 10 shareholders."


The figures match. It helps when the CEO invests in the company.
I would want to believe that at his age, he falls into the category of leaders who would want to leave a legacy of a successful organisation...

His shares now worth about 187M (4M*43sh). So what happens when you con guys off 1B?Plus he could easily exit.The books don't make sense!They live off revaluation gains!


His shares are now worth Sh231.6 million and he says he spent a cumulative Sh315 million of his bonus payments over the years on buying the firm's stock. See http://www.businessdaily...em-0-2q12v2/index.html. That is not an easy position to unload. His interests and the shareholders' seem aligned to me.

seems it would have made more sense for shareholder interests if he was awarded bonuses in form of shares and that cash could have been used to generate wealth if it were still in the company

It would not be beneficial from a shareholder's perspective. As it stands, he is buying shares on the open market. If he were receiving shares as a bonus instead, the company would have to create new shares, thereby diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. It would essentially be a bonus issue that ordinary shareholders couldn't participate in. As for alignment, if you look at the annual report, the bonuses are tied to continued wealth creation and partially deferred. If they don't continue to perform, they don't get some of their money. I don't have a problem with the structure.

There is nothing extra ordinary James Mworia has done.
I'm sure some Wazuans if given the job would have done much better and rewarded shareholders handsomely.
As someone said what is being done is transferring money from one side to another with creative and fake accounting being done on the books.

As much its agreed that employees should be motivated and rewarded, this one is pure greed

Pay OBESE bonuses and NIL dividends
Nil Dividend = Suffocated share price
Buy on the cheap with the bonus + add "I'm also taking a hit" lie
Own bigger and bigger share of the company
Start paying (fat) dividends, offer bonus shares, pump
