Mrs Rebecca Miano has been named as Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) Acting Managing Director and CEO following the retirement of Eng Albert Mugo.
Miano, the Company Secretary and Legal Affairs Director, was appointed by the KenGen Board of Directors, to the position in an acting capacity to allow the company to conclude the ongoing recruitment exercise, which is already at an advanced stage.
“The idea of appointing Mrs Miano in an acting capacity is to ensure a smooth transition as we await the conclusion of the process,” says KenGen Chairman Joshua Choge.
Mrs Miano is expected to progress the work of Eng Mugo by working with the rest of the team at KenGen to meet the demand growth by sustaining the momentum of the ongoing transformation until a full Managing Director and CEO is appointed.
