KENYA AIRWAYS ANNOUNCES CHANGES ON THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
(Posted 19th January 2016)
The Board of Kenya Airways earlier today announced the appointment of Mr. Dick Murianki as the Acting Group Finance Director, replacing the immediate former post holder Mr. Alex Mbugua with effect from today.
Making the announcement, the Chairman of the Board Amb. Dennis Awori said that the position will be substantively filled through a competitive interview process which will go underway due course.
Mr. Murianki is currently the General Manager of KQ Cargo. He has been in the airline industry for over 12 years and has served in various roles in Kenya Airways including as a Finance Manager, Commercial Business Performance Manager and Head of Financial Control.
Prior to joining Kenya Airways, he worked with Ernst and Young Public Accountants for over 8 years in accountancy and business consultancy roles. He holds an MBA from Moi University – Kenya and a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Nairobi.
It could not be established where Mr. Mbugua is heading to after his long term at Kenya Airways and having known Alex for a very long time does this correspondent extend his best wishes to him.
Amb. Awori also at the same time announced the resignation of Mr. Joseph Nduva Muli from the Board of Directors and the subsequent appointment of Mr. Irungu Nyakera who is the Principal Secretary for Transport in the Kenyan Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure as a Board Member. This change comes as a result of the recent reshuffle of Principal Secretaries in the Kenyan government.
In a related development was it also learned that the Kenya Airways’ Fleet Director Rick Sine will leave the company at the end of January after his contract with the airline comes to an end.
All these changes are part of an ongoing re-alignment and restructuring at both board and senior management level at Kenya’s national airline.
