Or it could be someone passionate about centum?!?!? I highly doubt dj has the time or the motivation to come here and debate


He did once especially that time when guys were fired up here at wazua about the 1 billion bonus payout and he tweeted that he has had people are mad about the 1b payout abs if they have a problem they should "ask chris"". I think murchir copied that here

The DJ, Ngunze, Bob Collymore are confirmed members of wazua


Confirmed? Really?


What if Angelica Anne is DJ?


"What if" is terribly distant from "confirmed members" 😎

Anyone please explain? Who audits Centum's books?


pwc are their auditors.

If you look at the annual report, it was not revaluation gains but beverage sales that were by far the biggest income driver (8,140,574,000 in FY16 versus 36,792,000 in FY15). See note 6. The unrealised gains in investment property were 5,118,581,000 in FY16 and 1,737,045,000 in FY15). Again, note 6. Given the disclosures in note 14, they seem reasonable to me.


Ok great.
one question though,what growth does that represent i.e from 36.7M in FY15 to 8.14B in FY16 is it realistic to you?

Also kindly show me the make up of their cashflow figure for investment property 4,695,509 noting that under note 39 they have already handled the 5,118,581,000 when determining the cash from operations 3,631,542,000


please solve this conundrum

I have not broken down the numbers but my 1st look says the culprit is the capitalized subsequent expenditure of KES 9.4 Billion and capitalized borrowings of KES 399 Million. The fact that these significant amounts were not explained on the MD&A or notes creates an element of poor quality reporting.

Transfer of wealth from shareholders to management via the back door. What they are currently running is almost an hedge fund model (2 and 20) but where the investors are not accredited investors.

There is need for a real balance between reward for performance and fair management compensation. I support the scheme but it needs to be capped or structured in a different manner.

In the last 5 years he has probably received between 3% and 8% of consolidated cash-flow generated from operations [if you include employees this may go higher].

Except for the generous reinvestment in the company shares [which may be at a disadvantage to the non-dividend receiving shareholders who needed to sell shares to create liquidity], it's very hard to claw back cash if this is an Enron situation in the making.

Why not grant him options instead? Options encourage better results over the long term.

This stock has exhausted speculators who have been selling off @43.xy. Expect a rally from tomorrow. Next stop 50/- plus.

The Dutch parliament has voted for a 55% cut in CO2 emissions by 2030, which would require the closure of all the country’s coal-fired power plants.

Reality check buddy. 80% of the Kenya population uses firewood. Firewood = deforestation + carbon emissions. Coal is a huge improvement from firewood.

Coal is used for the production of power in many countries. Whereas its use is diminishing in various "western" countries [which can afford other means], it is still widely used in developing countries. Cheaper coal will (hopefully) make for cheaper electricity.

The problem was African leaders and politicians is the greed for bribed.
