I think that these two would not survive a extra day were the politically correct cowboys who own shares there exit....
Your comments pls.

@ yekeyeke define by what you mean political???????

i think this is what ought to have been the argument from the start!

@kyt I actually don't see what is improper about discussing political risk companies face. In fact I know for a fact that banks appraise political risk when lending to politicians.

So the issue is to what extent BBK and SCBK obtain their business from Gov, are owned by, or deal with politically sensitive individuals.

My uninformed opinion:
NBK faces bigger risk due to ownership
Equity currently has higher affiliation to powers that be
BBK and SCBK have largest local owner with no more than 1.5%

I do not equate higher political risk with political bank. These banks in Kenya are now run more professionally, a far cry from political banks of the 90s

Irrelevant as far as BBK n Stanchart are concerned
