Word from Mr Linus Gitahi, C.E.O

C.E.O We are on course…
Dear Shareholders,

This has been achieved in the face of prevailing high inflation, depreciating regional currencies, rising costs of raw materials and energy.

SAVING THE MAU FOREST

In June 2009, the United Nations Environmental Programme reported that Kenya stood to lose over USD 300 million alone in the energy, tea and tourism sectors if the Mau Forest continued to be degraded and destroyed. According to a UN report published in the same year, this destruction has not only contributed to floods and drought in some parts of the country, but has also captured the international headlines through destruction in some countries such as Egypt, Uganda, Tanzania and the entire Eastern African states.
