Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has extended Rebecca Miano’s contract as Managing Director for a further three years.
According to the board chair Joshua Choge, the decision was reached following a rigorous evaluation process.
In a statement, Mr Choge said Miano’s performance in the last three years has been exemplary and the company has been on an upward growth trend.
“During Mrs Miano’s three-year tenure, the company has continued on an upward growth trajectory, consistently reporting good corporate financial performance despite a difficult operating environment that has affected many other businesses globally,” he said.
