JKIA Fire Inquiry Cost APA Sh130 Million in Consultancy Fees http://allafrica.com/stories/201404141405.html

....................................................................................................

The insurer said close to 40 experts were involved hence the high cost of adjusting the claim. The highly skilled individuals involved in investigations gobbled up Sh130 million. "It is a huge claim, and yes, it's expensive but we cannot say for sure that it is the largest since we do not know how much Kenindia has paid for the Westgate claim," said Mark Obuya, Association of Kenya Insurers chairman.

....................................................................................................

"Even the total compensation payout of close to Sh2 billion is the highest I have heard of in this industry." Out of the Sh1.97 awarded to KAA as compensation, APA only paid Sh200 million while the rest was spread out across its five re-insurers, including KenyaRe.

Of all the probable angles Kenya-Re has been covered on this thread, there is yet another.

As per the H1 2013 results, management indicated Kenya-Re's retrocession premiums (reinsurance for re-insurers) grew by 28% - a deliberate increase in cover limits for better protection.

Should go a long way in better absorption/distribution of claims.

@murchr Continental Re "Deals, deals, deals."

The pan-African reinsurance company, Continental Reinsurance is planning new acquisitions to drive its expansion on the continent.

The firm which already has a subsidiary in Nairobi is eyeing a larger share of the African reinsurance market through regional expansion driven by growing its existing business, establishing new regional subsidiaries, and acquisitions

“We believe that Africa must have strong and large insurance institutions so that we can keep African premiums in Africa,” he said.

“We see opportunities in organic growth and we see opportunities in acquisitions. As I speak, we have entered into discussions with reinsurance companies in West Africa, East Africa and in Southern Africa,” added Dr Oyetunji. Read more at: http://www.standardmedia...sitions-to-drive-growth

Kenya Re is bigger than Continental Re PLC in terms of assets and profits and underwritten business.
Bigger even than Continental Re Nigeria

Seems penetrating the kenyan market for continental re has become a hard nut to crack.
