NCBA Group counts some of Kenya’s richest families, including the Kenyatta, Merali, and Ndegwa families, among its shareholders.
NCBA Group, which resulted from a momentous merger in 2019, is partially owned by the Kenyatta, Merali, and Ndegwa families.
The Merali family, overseeing the estate of the late tycoon Naushad Merali, commands a 74-percent stake in Sameer Africa.
Despite the recent downturn in Sasini’s share price, the Kenyan Merali family remains one of the wealthiest families in the country.
Billionaires.Africa has identified and monitored five prominent companies held by the Kenyan Merali family.
With a 65.46-percent stake, Kenya’s Merali family holds the largest share in Sasini Tea.
The Merali family, custodians of the late tycoon Naushad Merali’s estate, is the majority shareholder of Sameer Africa.
While the aggregate consideration remains undisclosed, the Naushad Merali family received a premium above the market price.
The recent gain solidifies the Merali family’s position as one of the wealthiest families in East Africa.
