That's my point. All the rest is "window dressing"
[Unless, there's a clear cut case that Mwarania was incompetent or corrupt]

If he was not competent then when did the "Board" figure it out?
Aren't there assessments?
Why not ease him out for "personal reasons" [the impromptu firing causes jitters]?

If corrupt, then it should be for us to see. Or say so in the press release.

I admit to my error of holding KenRe as a core holding.


Between now and 2022 Kenya Re will be looted proper.

I am evaluating where to put my money after i liquidate my 15% portfolio in the company.

I totally agree with your sentiments.
If you have a look at the shareholding structure, you will be shocked that the chairman of the board holds only a small quantity and he is the chair.

That last paragraph holds the answer where GoK stocks are concerned...non-core and strictly speculative.

Aside from the govt muck involved, Kenya Re has been a poor performer over the years. Even as a speculative pick it hardly inspires any risk taking.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

@Fyatu the clinker story is to cover our faces.



I have investigated ARM for some time now. I am a strong believer of cement business and heavily invested(ABP 11bob). I can tell you for a fact that if Magufuli allows coal importation to ease coal shortage in TZ then ARM will return to profitability. My biggest worry is that i no longer see ARM cement in hardwares. Most retail cement is either Mombasa cement, Portland or Simba depending of where you live in Kenya.


All the cement making companies in NSE are not doing well currently:
Bamburi-only depending on standard gauge railway tender.
Arm-broke cause of too much debts
Eapc-debts and mismanagement from Gok

Its risky to put a financial as a core holding.I also have kcb as my core holding comprising 29% of my portfolio.Im planning to change.I was thinking safaricom or kenol.Then valuation discouraged me but im waiting for full year results to make a decision.
I also decided to follow @Young advice of balancing between financials and industrials.

There's a cement and ARM thread, feel free to take the discussion there.

Ericson has never shared his portfolio.Vvs is very transparent.We all know he is in Kenya re,kenol,equity,i&m,dtb,williamson,c&gand ftgh.
So it seems Ericson portfolio looks like this: Eaagads,olimpya,Eveready,express,kurwitu,atlas,rea vipingo and hutchings biemar.
