Anxiety Grips CBK as 4 Directors Set to Leave

Anxiety has gripped the financial sector following the lapse of the contracts of four directors of Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). The four directors’ engagement with CBK will end between November and December 2020.

The contracts of Ravi Ruparel, a financial guru and Mrs Nelius Kariuki, an economist by profession, are due to lapse on 3^rd November. 

The other two directors who are counting their days at the CBK are Samson Cherutich, an accountant, and Mrs Rachel Dzombo, a management expert. These two will exit the CBK board after 4th  December 2020 unless their contracts are renewed.

Both Cherutich and Dzombo were appointed to the CBK on 5^th December 2016, for a renewable four- year contract.

President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed the four non-executive directors to the CBK Board with the approval of Parliament. These directors are eligible for re-appointment for another term of four years.

CBK Board Chairman Mr Mohammed Nyaoga, who was reappointed to this position on 18^th June, 2019, will have his term expire in June 2023.

It will also be the time for Dr Patrick Njoroge, the CBK Governor, to exit after his second term – which runs from 18^th June 2019 – expires on 17^th June 2023.

Prior to his appointment in 2015, Nyaoga was without a board for close to two years until President Kenyatta picked the four non-executive directors to the CBK board.
