@BoardLotSultan This is not a fraud case. It's a governance case.
Centum is a textbook example of how long-tenured CEOs, captured Boards, and opaque accounting can create value destruction that looks legal on paper but is economically indefensible.
@BoardLotSultan 🔍 FORENSIC SIGNAL #1: TAX ENGINEERING
FY2025 deferred tax charge: Ksh 1.32 BILLION • Up from Ksh 304m in FY2024 (+334%) • Attributed to "asset reclassifications" • Land tax rate changed: 5% → 15%
What was reclassified? From what to what? Why?
Undisclosed. Red flag.
@BoardLotSultan 🏛️ GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE: WHO WATCHES THE WATCHER?
