Obiero.

Once upon a time a luo opened a shop for his wife. Other luo women used to visit the shop and gossip the whole day. The kikuyu women next door was busy attending to her clients.

A luo man was retrenched. He bought a mercedes and eat the rest of the golden handshake with women. Now he only laments how he was victimized. His kikuyu mate invested in a car wash business. He has never looked back.

A kikuyu man used to diligently buy shares of certain company every month from his paycheque. He now has an impresive portfolio. His luo friend was diligently at Nairobi west drinking every day talking loudly and boosting alot. His is now deep in debt.

It is called the biz mind, goals and approach.

Equity is a private company. If no luo has ivested substantially in this bank how do you expect one to be made a director. Haki Yetu ????

It's said that during the PEV,some people would uproot the railway line.Kamau would wait until the wanyoaji were dead asleep from tire and hunger and he would come with a lorry to collect the metal to go sell as scrap....It's the way you see it....when a group of businessmen were establishing EB,watu wengine walikuwa wamekalia makende....Now they can only cry in envy...BK!

I normally eschew commenting on issues such as this, but I will weigh in this time round. As a shareholder in EB, I am actually unhappy about this state of affairs. We are not talking about the Board of Directors here. On the BoD, EB has 5 out of 11 Non-Central Kenya Directors. You could have an argument on this one about the core investors wanting to take care of their interest.

However, when it comes to Key Management, surely the rest of Kenya could at least provide 50%. I would actually expect higher, but 51% at the very least. EB is a Regional Bank and their management ranks should reflect as much. It is a shame that it does not!!!

equity is not a parastatal.

even then, could not care less if the entire staff was made up of jacob zuma's and king mswati's wives.

as long as i get a fat dividend cheque and capital appreciation.

want to know why many kenyans remain poor?

there you have it.
