Dividend payout by all of companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) has risen to a record Sh130.3 billion in their latest respective financial years on the back of earnings recovery from the impact of the Covid-19 scourge.
This represented a 53.5 percent jump from the total payout of Sh84.9 billion a year earlier –which marked a large decline that jolted years of a steady increase in cash distributions.
