Kenya:

Eddy Njoroge spoke at the
GRC Annual Meeting in Reno

After almost 10 years at the helm of energy firm Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), Managing Director and GRC member Eddy Njoroge has resigned.

He joined the power generator in 2003 and was to end his contract with the company in 2015, after the Board of Directors extended his contract by five years in 2010.

Njoroge gave his resignation speech on Wednesday at KenGen's Annual General Meeting and said after serving the company for nearly a decade, this was the fitting time to step down.

"I believe that 10 years is sufficient time for one to make a difference in an institution. Yes, KenGen has had its challenges but as some of you know, I thrive on challenges particularly when they are of service to the nation. Although my exit will bring about a change in leadership, I am pleased to let you know that we are well prepared for transition," he noted.
