Battle: Dar es Salaam vs Nairobi

KCB, Equity, Coop, NCBA are owned by locals. Tafuteni excuse ingine, hii upuzi ya foreigners tushazoea.

1. Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) Group
KCB Group Plc is a major financial services holding company listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE: KCB). The Government of Kenya has historically been a significant shareholder, with its stake fluctuating over time due to privatization and rights issues.
Largest Shareholders (as of June 2023):
  • Government of Kenya: Holds approximately 19.76% (635,001,947 shares). This stake reflects a reduction from earlier years due to privatization efforts and rights issues, such as the 2010 rights issue that lowered the government’s shareholding to 17.31% before subsequent adjustments.


  • Other Shareholders: The remaining shares are held by institutional and individual investors, including foreign and domestic entities. As of December 2023, the top 10 shareholders collectively owned a significant portion, but specific names and percentages for others are not fully detailed in the provided data. Notable institutional investors often include pension funds, insurance companies, and investment firms trading on the NSE.
    • Example: National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and other state-affiliated entities may hold substantial stakes, but exact figures are unavailable here.
  • Public Float: KCB’s shares are widely distributed, with cross-listings on the Dar es Salaam, Rwanda, and Uganda stock exchanges, indicating diverse institutional and retail ownership.
Note: For a complete list of the top 10 shareholders as of 2023, refer to KCB Group’s annual report or NSE filings, as the provided data only confirms the government’s stake.

Dar billionaires now top investors in Safaricom
Wednesday, September 26, 2018 — updated on April 13, 2021

What you need to know:
The August regulatory filings at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) show that the Rajabalis, who bought 10 million shares in April, now hold a total of 21.1 million shares valued at Sh527 million.
This has effectively relegated billionaire investors Ramaben Patel (with 19.4 million shares worth Sh485 million) and John Kibunga Kimani (12.1 million units valued at Sh302 million) to second and third places respectively.
The Rajabalis’ accumulation of Safaricom shares, seen as a signal of their confidence in the telco’s future prospects, comes amid a major dip in the company’s share price, which now stands at Sh25 --- a 23.6 per cent drop from a high of Sh32.75 in April.
