Uganda’s electricity distributor Umeme Limited which is cross listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) presents the highest dividend yield of 15.98 percent for investors moving into the earnings season next month.

The higher dividend yield comes ahead of the expected buyout of the company’s investors by the government of Uganda when the firm’s 20-year concession to distribute power in the country lapses on March 30, 2025.
