The Kenyan government is left with a 40 percent stake in De La Rue Kenya EPZ after an investment firm acquired a controlling interest for Sh400 million, according to Business Daily Africa (direct).
The transaction puts the investment firm in control of the business. A controlling stake gives an owner the power to direct a company’s decisions, rather than simply hold a financial interest.
The government remains a minority shareholder—an owner with less than half the company. Its remaining holding is a substantial part of the ownership structure, even as the investment firm takes control.
For business readers, the central development is the combination of new control and continued government ownership. The point to watch is how that ownership structure shapes the company’s direction; the supplied report gives no details of the buyer’s plans.
