    Investing in Centum doesn’t make sense -at 455 Ksh per share in 2006 and a drop to 23 Ksh in 2020 -does not make sense!Someone convince me.

      You see a huge share price drop as alarming, i see it as an oportunity to buy a piece of the company at a discount.

      Go to the NSE webpage at nse.co.ke/...firms/firms.html. You will see a list of trading participants who are stockbrokers. Register a brokerage account with one of them and then you can start buying and/or selling shares of any of the listed equities on the stock exchange including those of Centum as well. All the best!
