Hi Guys,

I understand former president UK have majority shares in NCBA.

Will their current wrangles impact NCBA negatively ? Please what is your take ?

Up to Q1 2023, NCBA has been doing very well.

I doubt; just the usual political bluster.

My reasons:
- NCBA is almost 3rd largest in KE (soon would be almost too big to fail) and 1st by customer numbers in KE (because of mobile accounts)
- NCBA footprints in Tz, Ug, Rw further reinforce this point
- NCBA is home & cofounder of MShwari & Fuliza, Safaricom's largest mobile money lending products

Admittedly, if they lost the court process on tax exemption they'd take a one-off Shs 1b charge, but it would not void their fundamentals.

NCBA is strong and stable. What you are hearing is/was just politicking for the sake of it, which has since died down.

Plus NCBA is also professionally managed.

Nothing to worry about.
Both NIC and CBA were solid banks before their merger.
They both had solid and experienced management.
The company I worked for was the major supplier of their IT requirement, before and after their merger.

If there was something to worry about, I would expect to see loss of business from GOK companies in they are principal bankers with and have given loans to e.g. Kengen, KPLC, KQ.

KQ is almost dead. A prudent bank would NPL the loans to KQ.

KPLC has issues around repaying loans too. Some loans were restructured.
KenGen's largest debtor is KPLC.
