A massive day in Nairobi today as investors didn’t seem to be deterred by the political instability in the country at the moment seeing Safcom (+1.04%, KES24.25) being almost half of total market turnover seeing foreigners dominate the counter. EABL (+1.67%, KES244.00), Jubilee (+1.87%, KES490.00) and KNCB (+0.68%, KES36.75) were the other major movers with a combined effort of more than 40% of earnings.
