The tightly-held firm, controlled largely by the Matu Wamae family, has in recent years faced some wrangling over its strategic direction. Recent regulatory filings show Mr Michael Matu, a former CEO and current deputy chairman, has cut his personal stake in the firm by almost half to 1.7 per cent. He appears to have sold the shares to Mobicom, a company associated with the largest individual shareholder, Mr Paul Ndung’u, who resigned as a director in 2012.
