They say "Shilingi humulikwa na ingine" Now Co-op is doing just that!!!
Just waiting for FEB 2015FY results.
Co-op places agents inside banking halls as model stepped up

I think Coop is way ahead. FB should list in NSE. There are reasons,other than strategic planning, that led to retiring of FB's CEO.

@streetwise;
I support enyands comment.Coop needs a new face and fresh ideas.
What sort of a plan is this they are doing placing agents inside the branches and removing the tellers.Just have the tellers.
If the customers aren't responding positively to the agent then there is a problem.Customer is always KING.
Safaricom tried the big box and when they realised it wasn't working had to scrap it off and check the cause.
Coop is being run like a kiosk;corporate governance procedures are extremely weak and Gideon fears leaving now because once he leaves the cockroaches being hidden will be let thus exposing the rot and "investigators" might come for him.

I worked there once upto to a level up. I'm telling you the rot that will come out will shock many. The MD gets a bonus of 40m a year beside the dividends and that was in 2007.at the procurement and purchases dept is another den. Well I'm not mad at why he used to get that but made me wonder alot. He owns a little bit under 2% shares but man that guy should just let go leadership .it is what it is....

The shares will rally better with new faces.

You killed it man . Then poor tellers going to lose their jobs to the agents working on the same banking hall. Jameni hata usa greedy banks don't do that

Use of agents looks like the way they used to do it in the 19th Century, it would have been perfect then. The issue with using the same strategy in the 21st century is that you are not likely to achieve the level of efficiency as those who automate.

So the question is , why go through the mid step when you can go all the way .

I am sure the Mackenzie’s have done it elsewhere or do they want a longer stay at the job

I wonder who has actually recently transacted at Coop agent lately.As of mid last year in my town where we have like four KCB mtaani, they work and functioning equity agents at almost all m-pesas.But try any coop agent and you get "Haifanyi". Is it a technical issue or do they pay agents poorly?

We need some changes in this bank. MD is out of ideas just like mugabe

this is good news but id rather do my own analysis of these stocks, sometimes I find main stream media to be corrupted with the info they post on the papers.they do so some of them to expect a rally or something.anyway I know with KCB it aint wrong na ndugu obiero mentioned about loading it up.

There will be no stampede stocks will under perform this year...if you are buying look at selling after elections going forward....
