[kictanet] Fwd: Bulk of KenyanWealth Owned by Foreigners

Sat Jul 5 09:53:20 EAT 2008

I cannot agree with you any less. No one has talked of de-registering the
professionals who did the valuation for CBK! I think the politicians, just
like some others, are attaching value to the big name called 'Grand Regency'
as opposed to the business. 

Does anyone know of established systems that can be employed in valuations?

I think the article in the Business Daily today (pg 10-11) makes a lot of
sense. The valuations for Grand Regency that are being bandied about by the
politicos are completely off.

Considering that the the Lonrho Group of hotels (5 different distinct units)
- consisting of The Norfolk, Mt Kenya Safari Club, The Ark, Aberdare Country
Club and Mara Safari Club - we *all* sold for a total of Kshs. 2billion.
Getting 3.1 billion (or 2.9B after forex issues) is quite a steal for Grand
Regency.

We are clearly witnessing a witchhunt over here .... nevertheless with great
power comes great responsibility.... time will tell
