@obiero, kindly allow me to throw a spanner in the works,
The magic card for KCB has always been its position as the banker for the biggest customer in Kenya i.e GoK. Within the industry, 2013 presented a game-changer through devolution and the funds that go with it. So who is banking for the counties ? Believe it or not, almost all banks were caught napping and it was left to two banks to fight for the spoils. KCB & COOP. KCB got the lion's share while coop got a number of the fattest accounts e.g. Nairobi & Narok.
Equity is joining lately and they have already bagged Embu county through an e-revenue solution.
The impact of these funds will be seen in Q.4.
