Manufacturing is even worse in terms of possible loss In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

A bank would be a huge target for broke terrorist who want money. They will assume there is a huge pile of dollars just sitting in there that they can smash and grab. KCB should find a better strategy outside Kenyan subsidiary. None of them is past Ksh500m in profitability.

As pointed out and articulated well by either @Pesa8 or @Ericsson, there's huge regulatory risk for KCB esp with European and US regulators. Why take the risk? The potential profits aren't enough to cover blacklisting for USD or Euro transactions, on-lending for US or EU funds, etc. Some US/EU shareholders may have to dispose of their shares if KCB is flagged or cited for non-kosher transactions. There is immense potential but that might be a few years into the future. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

The mafia are controlled by the said UN list. KCB can go to Somalia and do clean business. It's security factors that has delayed its entry COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU
