2 Summary of significant accounting policies<br />
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies<br />
have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.<br />
(a)<br />
Basis of preparation<br />
The financial statements are prepared in compliance with International <strong>Financial</strong> Reporting Standards (IFRS). The measurement<br />
basis applied is the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The financial<br />
statements are presented in Kenya Shillings (Shs), rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.<br />
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It<br />
also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas<br />
