The KCB Bank Group has appointed a General Counsel Bonnie Okumu to replace Joseph Kania in a company restructure aimed at streamlining management.
According to media reports, the reorganization has touched on other positions as well.
Those who recently left the lender’s C-suite are Apollo Ongara who was the director of credit, Judith Sidi Odhiambo (head of corporate and regulatory affairs), Joseph Kania (company secretary) and Jane Mwangi (managing director of KCB Foundation).
KCB said that Mr Ongara, Ms Mwangi and Mr Kania left the company between last year and early 2021 to “pursue other interests.”
The lender added that Ms Odhiambo left the executive committee but still retains her role as head of corporate affairs. She will work under a new appointee who will join the executive committee.
“Judith, however, is still serving as group head of corporate affairs, with the changes which are expected to see a new merged function under group director marketing, corporate affairs and citizenship, a C-suite role,” KCB said in a statement.
Mr Kania
Mr Kania must have been ‘sacked’ due to the incompetence in handling cases of fired staff.
According to sources, some of his decision has opened the bank to legal challenges.
Kania together with crooks at the Banking Insurance Finance Union – BIFU defeated justice on oppressed KCB employees.
BIFU National Secretary-General Isaiah Kubai has already lost severally in court and in elections but has stuck on the seat illegally.
Ultimately Kania’s advice will bite KCB Bank Group in the future.
