NAIROBI, MAR 12 — Kenya Reinsurance Corporation Limited (Kenya Re) managing director Jadiah Murungi Mwarania has left the company.
The re-insurer announced Mwarania’s exit on Monday in a letter to the Nairobi Securities Exchange Chief Executive, but failed to give an explanation to his exit.
“This is to notify you that Mr.Jadiah Murungi Mwarania who has been the managing director of the corporation has separated from the company with immediate effect,” Chairman David Kemei said in the letter.
