I am just rethinking this bond issuance during 2014. It might be that they have exhausted their lending opportunities and for this reason enter into process of merger, or it was for reason to make portfolios more beautiful before entering into negotiation process? What do you think?


Motivations of the Merger IMO:
1. CBA shareholders want to list, hence the merger with listed NIC;
2. New capitalisation requirements for banks. Other small and medium sized banks are also bulking up.
3. Ndegwas looking to divest some of their investments in banking. Remember NIC Group acquired ICEA, Lion Insurance, Solid Stock Brokers.
4. Good fit between the two banks


NIC group acquired ICEA and Lion Insurance when?

Wealth preservation for a 100 years is a very wide concept and I am not sure if this case is here in question. It is about enlargement of capital and market position. I have some feeling that there will be some more mergers in the future

State Capture in full swing by Kenyatta Inc. Does this make a case to buy NIC shares now? This will make them pivotal in lending to SMEs. Joke of a country but maybe an opportunity for wazuans? https://www.theeastafric...ke-over-lending-to-smes/

The experience of transcentury after loss of power tells wazuans to be careful of Greeks bearing gifts turns out to be trojan horses and value traps.

The HUDUMA number is a good thing. It will help the country save a lot of money down the line.

Prof. Ndii says that to access services from private entities such as certain banks one will need the HUDUMA number. This argument isn't very strong since all he's got are speculations. Until he's got concrete data on his allegations, lets work with what we know and that is that the number will bring services from the government closer and faster. Yes, including taxation too and curbing corruption
