Was wondering the same?
They can't just wake up one day and decided to open branches in a different country. Their growth prospects will most likely be limited to Kenya. And Kenya is a hard sell for them. They vomited on Kenyans' shoes when they were the big boys in town. It will be hard to lure the same Kenyans back.
Even new products and services will be viewed suspiciously given the number of Kenyans they have shafted! It's like Kanyari going on TV and saying he is now saved - for real. Very few will believe. They will imagine (and with good reason) it is just another chapter of his con job/life!
They need to woe the "super-young" i.e. those with no history of the snab game of the 90's.
To do this, they need young targeted products plus polish up the branches. Still can't understand why at KCB river road you only need to pick a ticket, take a seat and wait to be called by the queing system. If you cross over to Barclays Queensway, you have to first smile at the last pal on the queu to reserve your place as you go about filing the forms.
These among other old habits have to change for Barclays to deliver.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
