Equity @ 158

The ceremony marking the listing of Equity Bank shares was broadcast live on Citizen TV this morning, followed by share trading.

The price moved up from 70 to 158 shillings in a single price setting deal of 1,000 shares. Like the day one price of Kengen (63/=), today will not be a good indicator of the true price of Equity shares.

White Collar Wonderland Part II

Part I was about the inability to prosecute any big shot for committing a white collar crime and this was confirmed by Monday’s stunning court decision that undoes months of Goldenberg hearings.

– There’s an on-going Goldenberg trial in the high court, and the details are so complex, that it is hard to imagine how the judge is able to keep track of the proceedings.
– More ministers behaving badly and probably unworried about the consequences.
– Kamlesh Pattni appears to have mastered the art of stalling court processes.
