The Libyans will own the GR because the deal was as good as they come but the politicians saw a chance to do some political damage in the procedure/process followedJ Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728527542402740675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-37008691055185164552008-07-10T05:54:00.000+01:002008-07-10T05:54:00.000+01:00Btw, I'm surprised nobody commented on the fact th...Btw, I'm surprised nobody commented on the fact that the libyans now own the hotel.

They have since invested greatly in institutions of transparency and privatization, but in this case Kimunya chose to side-step the institutions he had championed.bankelelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180926084939364063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-15915629331684420822008-07-09T09:36:00.000+01:002008-07-09T09:36:00.000+01:00@MainaT, The noise around this saga was never abou...@MainaT, The noise around this saga was never about the deal because from facts 2.9B was as good an offer as can be gotten. Compare the value of TPS Serena with a myriad of hotels all over at 7B. Grand Regency as a going concern has been making losses so fetching 2.9B is actually a godsend. The issues here were seizing opportunities to do political back stabbingJ Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728527542402740675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-71478001424125318002008-07-09T09:16:00.000+01:002008-07-09T09:16:00.000+01:00And investors confidence is shaken bcoz of his res...And investors confidence is shaken bcoz of his resignation, I thot this would be plus on the seriousness of M.Ps in fighting corroption, and our P.M no comments.HATUAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063745441963770515noreply@blogger.com
