The late Chris Kirubi’s Children gain $1.3 million from stake in Centum

The late Chris Kirubi’s children Robert Kirubi and Mary-Ann Musangi, have witnessed a significant increase of more than $1.3 million in the market value of their stake in Centum Investment, in the past 153 days.

The market value of their joint stake in Centum has increased by Ksh197.67 million ($1.32 million) since May 17 as investors on the local bourse continue to increase their stakes in Kenya’s largest listed investment firm.

Kirubi was an investor who owned a 30.94-percent stake in Centum Investments, an equivalent of 205,908,205 ordinary shares.

His son, Robert Kirubi, and daughter, Mary-Ann Musangi, inherited 80 percent of his fortune, including stakes in KCB Group, Haco Industries, and Bendor Estate Limited.

The duo now holds a stake in Centum Investments, which their father once owned.

From May this year to date, Centum shares on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) have surged by 12 percent, climbing from Ksh.8.00 ($0.0535) on May 17 to Ksh.8.96 ($0.0599) as of October 18, 2023.

This pushes Centum’s market capitalization closer to $40 million and returns gains amounting to millions of dollars for its shareholders, including Kirubi’s heirs.

Centum Investment Company reported earnings results for the full year ended March 31, 2023.

For the full year, the company reported sales of Ksh.2.2 billion compared to Ksh.3 billion in 2022.

Net loss was Ksh. 7.3 billion million compared to Ksh.2 billion a year ago.

  1. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.

    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article
    or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.

    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

  2. This is the right webpage for anybody who wishes to understand this
    topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally
    would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a topic that has
    been discussed for decades. Wonderful stuff, just excellent!
