TransCentury's ownership structure has witnessed notable changes following the rights issue, with new significant holders entering the fray and existing shareholders experiencing partial dilution.

In January 2024, Nyoro offloaded his 36% stake in Kenya Power worth Sh16 million. He now owns 1.06% of the company worth Sh29 million at the current share price.

This sale represents a major departure from his previous bullish stance on the company, where he was once the largest individual shareholder.

He is second after Naran Khimji Hirani and Virji Khimji Hirani. They jointly own a 1.22% stake in Kenya Power.

His decision to sell has sparked widespread speculation about the future of Kenya Power and the energy sector in the nation.

He had increased his shares in the company, making him a noteworthy stakeholder.

This move was part of a strategic plan to reap substantial profits, reflecting his confidence in the potential of Kenya Power.
