    looks like the khetshi family hold the 3rd largest stake

    was suprised to see the Khetshi family having such a large stake at KQ. They are capable of driving the prices up and down at their own will.
    They must be very popular with the board members and I can bet they have one of their own on the board with the kind of stake they have.

    Khetsi – They do not have a family member on the board according to the 2005-6 Annual Report.

    Ndungu – Stood for elections then withdrew.

    Mystery Shareholder – Nani?

    Khetsi- They might not have a family member but i guess they have a proxy member on board, with the kind of influence they have am sure they can’t have one of their own.
    Who is this Wanderi Ndungu? he might be the mystery shareholder, unconfirmed but reliable sources
