Jubilee has announced a dividend payout of Kes9 per share and a special Kes3 per share, summing to Kes870 million.
This is despite the Insurer recording a 2.9 per cent to Kes6.6 billion net profit in the year ending December 31 2022, from the Kes6.8 billion posted in 2021.
The drop is attributed to reduced gross written premiums from Kes30.6 billion to Kes26 billion.
Further, total income dropped from Kes39.5 billion to Kes36.8 billion during the period under review.
