Mumias should be euthanized. It's too deep in the muck. A waste of Taxpayer funds. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

It's still a very viable and profitable entity if handled well.

I totally concur. Once the state, vide Ruto, Washiali and Achesa were left to determine who runs that company, no good was going to come of it....and yet, serious investors such as OmniCane of Mauritius and the former managing agents, Booker Tate and Lyle were more than willing to come in....Siasa mbaya maisha mbaya....

KQ was rescued by Brian Presbury in the 90s(?) after KLM stepped in with money and technical resources. Then came Naikuni and friends. I believe KQ has received more bailout funds than Mumias.

Make it competitive vs ME carriers by offering tax breaks but NOT subsidies. Mumias is a tough one. It needs to be put into bankruptcy. And then a "New Mumias" formed that takes over the good assets without the liabilities. Find a strategic partner eg Omnicane to develop a business plan and pump in new cash. The current shareholders would be wiped out and the creditors would own "New Mumias" but the taxpayer should be off the hook. Greedy when others are fearful.

war on sugar catels intensifies matiangi is doing a good job https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001284008/matiangi-seized-contraband-sugar-contain-mercury-copperA special multi agency team has been set up to specifically deal with the menace after it emerged the counterfeit goods were robbing Kenyans of millions of shillings and jobs. There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

Mumias is in ICU. Kenya (Taxpayer) is better off letting it die so there's a rebirth as a private entity based on commercial reasons for survival. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

 Can Mumias improve if its competitors are found trading on Contraband sugar? It seems West Kenya/ Butali Wahindi were trading on illicit sugar and must be heavily penalized with even closure. I never TRUST Indian business people As Ngilu said "Behind every Singh is another Singh" They (Indians) have even introduced Bed space in Kenya as they did in UAE Those Indians living in Parklands are actually crowded in bed spaces. Someone said the bed bug menace was as a result of Indians giving their workers used bedding after being infested with Bedbugs.

I have been buying sugar from our supermarkets giving priority to kenyan branded sugar thinking am promoting local millers and farmers . Kumbe i have been promoting tenderprenuers, barons and Brazilian farmers. Indeed truly we are a bandit economy. "Blowing out someone else candle won't make yours shine brighter"-Anonymous
