    Listed Kenyan real estate company Home Afrika posted loss before tax of Ksh 887 million for the period ending December  31, 2019, compared to Ksh. 392 million posted in 2018.

    The company attributed the loss to the depressed valuation of the company’s inventories in the form of land and uncompleted houses which contributed up to KSh.391 million of this loss.

    “The decline is attributed to the impact of the slowed growth in the economy in general and real estate sector in particular and the depressed valuation of the company’s assets in the form of land and buildings. The Board has put in place measures to ensure that the company reverses this position sooner rather than later,” reported the firm in its financial report.
