View: The company is correct when it states that the family mmebers do not own any shares in the company. But there is no way of confirming or denying that future profits were not guaranteed for favours by the minister. Besides none of this will not change the fact that the promoter and chairman of the company were siblings, so all grants to the company by the minister will have face the prospect of ethical and moral screening.
On the investment front, the company stock will be very volatile, this will open opportunities for day-traders and short-term investors.
