Sell the mature businesses! Look for other ventures. I look on the contrary that it must have been a nasty year for centum. They are disposing off weeks to end of financial year. I doubt these sales happen "bei ya jioni" style. The buyers must have had time to do their Due Diligence. These sort of deals, esp dealing with financial firms and retirement assets, probably need sign-offs from various regulators too which takes time too. Greedy when others are fearful.

This Kuroma guys are the ones who bailed out Transcentury? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

sidian bank Investment firm Centum has pumped Sh1.1 billion into its banking subsidiary Sidian in a rights issue that is meant to boost the lender’s core capital.
Sidian chief executive Chege Thumbi said the capital injection will support trade finance, which the bank has been eyeing as part of a wider scheme aimed at growing its loan book.
Centum holds a 73 per cent stake in Sidian Bank and the Sh1.1 billion cash injection means it has defended its entire stake in the rights issue.
“Shareholders approved a total of Sh1.5 billion rights issue and we have received Sh1.1 billion, which is the share due from our main shareholder Centum. The other investors have until November to contribute their share of the rights,” Mr Thumbi said.

House team backs Sh200bn Lamu coal power plant plan https://www.businessdail...0740-k93gqvz/index.html
If Centum can find a financing and operating partner then this will be another decent "fair value gain" in Centum's books. The question is "when?" and the sooner the better! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
