@Obiero @mwekezaji LMAO... It was a rhetorical question. I have been following @Sang252 on this. The Net NPL exposure should be ZERO unless a recovery has been made in the days following the reporting period e.g. A payment has been made by 30 Jan [when the audit for the year ending 31 Dec is completed] therefore there is no provision required or Net NPL exposure on 30 Jan but was there on 31 Dec.
I am sure Equity can absorb a 500mn [the Net NPL exposure] write-off without much ado. As for KCB having to write-off 4bn will hurt the EPS substantially.
