I am not sure if Jubilee ever insured matatus directly though they did so through the Motor Pool many years ago...

Lakini, I have faith that if Jubilee were to insure matatus, they would get plenty of clients coz of their 'name'. They should do it slowly before building up the business...

As I said, JIHL are smart folks!

this all sounds like they are targeting the lower end of the market which has huge potential because in addition to the matatu insurance they are also set to introduce crop, legal and funeral insurance...

as a new shareholder all this sounds good!! Applause

I beg to differ. You can NEVER make a profit selling insurance to matatus. This is a no-win proposition; the number of fraudulent claims alone will sink you.

In life you choose to either learn from the mistakes of others or make your own mistakes and learn from them.

Has any firm profitabley sold matatu insurance? I thought the way to do was to lend to those who sell the insurance?

@My 2 cents i dont think you read the article properly, Jubilee did not go into this venture specifically because of the reason you stated above...

the budget has done alot to cover all this holes and Jubilee also plans to put alot of risk management into place so it still stands to be beneficial to them
