In terms of volumes transacted, Equity Bank was quick off the blocks transacting 207,200 shares.

Collymore is understood to be speaking at the Africa Shared Value Summit. The conference is being held at the Radisson Blu hotel in Upper Hill, Nairobi.
Already marked to be speaking at 8:45am, eyebrows have been raised following a scheduled presser for noon at the hotel.
