Kengen issuing a special dividend is highly possible How much idle cash does Kengen have? We the shareholders had to double our investment in the company to shore up the reserves.  Exactly! Which "idle cash" when there are huge loans to pay? Also KE needs more baseload power and KenGen should reinvest funds in viable projects. These are pricey. They take a long time to come online. If KPLC falters in making timely payments then KenGen needs cash to pay its obilgations. Going into 2020, I have moved to cash-rich firms or low debt:equity firms. No more ARMs. Even my sole GoK holding is KenRe with lots of cash. Our investments will be raided to bail out KQ and pay @Obiero. Life is short. Live passionately.

Kengen issuing a special dividend is highly possible This will mean a future slowdown in the development of power generation by Kengen and push that money to fund a broke government....the result is higher debts for Kengen in future or a dividend drought

At some point GoK will have to go to IMF/World Bank and the conditions they will be given will take us back to the 90's of mass civil service layoffs, restructuring of these very same parastatal cash cows.

So they pay the special dividend, then run back to the same Government to give them guarantees to borrow for future capital expenditures and expansion. Doesn't make sense to me, watching from the sidelines In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

The alternative to special dividend is outright technical default on notes surrendered by parastatals...

Do not blame the IMF for your failures. #KumiraKumira Is GoK approaching the IMF for a facility or is the IMF forcing it onto GoK at gunpoint? It's like going to a bank for a loan after blowing your cash (& taking on huge loans) on building a brand-new unnecessarily fancy and over-sized roof on your hut when repairing your simple roof would have worked just as well. And paying for planning and designing a pond on sandy soil. Then keeping a fleet of taxis that lose money year in, year out because it makes you look prosperous. Not to forget hiring your relatives and drinking buddies to manage your businesses. Fancy roof = SGR Simple roof = NGR Pond = Kimwarer Taxis = KQ Relatives = Relatives Businesses = Take your pick Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
