Folks were complaining about the 200mn pay package that Mworia of Centum got but the folks at KCB are also raking it 100s of millions for running a bank that has an (almost) monopoly on GoK business.

Dividends are not as relevant as sustainable earnings. The shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway do not get a dividend. The shareholders of Apple did not get a dividend until recently.

Interesting that James Mwangi of Equity got a bonus of ZERO for 2017 while Oigara of KCB raked in a huge bonus for a (bank) performance that's not too different but with a far less lending/asset portfolio for Equity which increased its treasury holdings by a huge margin vs 2016.

I do not invest in a company that dont pay dividends.
Whether a company makes profit or loss,there are people who are making money from it.Employees,suppliers and contractors make money.Why should i profit anyone else?

KCB and KenGen are expected to contribute Sh2 billion and Sh1 billion respectively in dividends to the exchequer, the document shows, leaving 15 other corporations and companies to fork out the remaining Sh1.8 billion.

The government owns 17.5 per cent of KCB, equivalent to 537.4 million shares"

meaning GoK will pocket the FY2017 dividend of sh.2 which is ksh.1.0748bn.
means also KCB may pay interim dividend of ksh.2 per share this year at ksh.1.0748bn
This will bring the total dividend to ksh.2.1496bn less taxes of 5% comes ksh.2bn
If GoK is to meet its target

Kcb board of directors is doing well.These additions will only make it much better.
