Paul Russo from KCB Group just became the top leader of Kenya Bankers Association. The group picked him during their yearly meeting held at Nairobi. He takes over from John Gachora who ran NCBA Group and had the job since June 2021. Banks across Kenya want to give more people loans and make money services easier to reach. This change happens when the banking world wants to help Kenya grow its economy.
Russo said he feels proud to lead the banking group and thanked other bank leaders for trusting him. He wants to make banking better for customers and help Kenya reach its money goals. The new chairman promised to work with everyone to make the banking world stronger. He plans to change how banks work to serve people better and make services cheaper. Russo wants banks to support Kenya as the country tries to grow and improve.
The new leader worked at banks for more than twenty years before getting this role. He used to run National Bank of Kenya and held top jobs at KCB Group. Russo also worked at other companies like Barclays, PwC, EABL, and Unga Holdings. His long experience with money and business helped him win the chairman position. Bank leaders chose him because they trust his skills.
John Gachora did a good job helping banks survive tough times after the disease outbreak. He helped banks change loans worth 1.7 trillion shillings and made new rules for foreign money trading. Gachora also made sure banks gave small businesses 150 billion shillings each year. Credit Bank leader Betty Korir won her job again as deputy chairman. She will help Russo run the banking group.
