At the movies
Finally, Nairobi theatres have some decent drama movies I can watch such as The Constant Gardener, Munich, Memoirs of a Geisha and Syriana all showing now. This has been a tough year to find non-PG/kid comedy or Indian movies that theatres here prefer to show. I remember calling up Fox theatres many months ago when “Constant Gardener” opened worldwide and they had not heard of it and were not aware it was set or shot in Kenya.

    Would you be willing to give some financial highlights on Kengen? So far all they have given is the price and that it is a 20% discount to book value. However there is very little other information to make this a less than speculative investment. Will be greatly appreciated.
