Absa Kenya #ticker:ABSA has kept Sh1.2 billion worth of dividends that it was to remit to its parent company this week, with the move aimed at boosting the lender’s capital position.

South Africa-based Absa Group waived its right to part of its dividend ahead of the Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm’s annual general meeting on Friday last week.
