They should stick with leasing their idle optical fibre network. The customer expectations for an ISP, Kenya Power can't match.

Share price collapsing on GoK refusal to raise fuel cost surcharge, despite the rout in geothermal.

KPLC risks going the KQ way. Needing perpetual state bailouts. Sad because were it not a parastatal this would be a massively profitable business. The same can't be said of KQ which is just in a bad business regardless of how it is run.

After Safaricom and EABL, KPLC comes third in the amount it collects from sales annually. Sadly this is all eaten up by IPP costs, transmission costs, admin costs, hefty interest costs...

(I still smile at the fact that on aggregate Kenyans spend more on their beer than they do their power :)

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants the State to shake up the Kenya Power board and settle at least Sh26 billion owed to the utility as part of reforms to steady the electricity distributor.

The government last month committed to clear some Sh19.4 billion owed to Kenya Power under the Rural Electrification Scheme and is yet to pay the utility Sh7 billion as compensation for last year’s 15 percent electricity tariff cuts.

IMF via IFC invests in IPPs or gives loans to IPPs and will give loan to GoK to ensure KPLC is viable and able to pay the IPPs who make money for IMF via IFC...kizungu-mkuti kweli

This one will only survive because it is a very important utility & monopoly company. However, shareholders are in trouble.

I am waiting for the 5/- to hit my account in Sep. I worry about the taxes GoK will add to BAT's already high burden.

2 years after the huge investment in the Velo factory, it still remains "closed"
BAT said they will have invested 1.5-2.5bn on the Velo plant by Dec 2023.

Not really Ksh 3 dividend (they still have a huge negative working capital which they need to sort with their profits before the asset transfer to Ketraco) but most likely a dividend in the range of Ksh 0.50-1.50.This would still be decent enough to pull the share price short term (Oct-Dec 2024) towards the Ksh 4-5 range after the end of year results announcement in a months time.

Happy hunting.

working capital shall be resolved through Balance Sheet restructuring and Assets for Liability exchange with GoK...not through retained earnings
