Kenyatta Prime Care Centre witnessed a successful handover as the new Manager, Finance and Administration. Ms. Hamina Kathambi took the reigns from the outgoing Mr. David Chibeka.

Mr. Chibeka will now be tasked to lead the Finance docket at the newly opened Mama Margaret Uhuru Hospital- Korogocho.

Those who attended the event hailed Mr. Chibeka as an excellent worker, saying it was under his stewardship that KPCC developed into a profit-making entity.

“We feel orphaned by your departure,” said Dr. Ngigi, Senior Director at KPCC.

“David did not only have a commendable work ethic but he also ensured that we meet our financial contractual targets every year and that is not a mean feat,” he added.

Many referred to him as a mentor, highly professional, a steady reasoning and fair gentleman, a problem solver who always rose above pressure for the greater good of KPCC.

During his speech, Mr. Chibeka thanked everyone, terming every milestone as a team effort and also issuing a rallying call to support the incoming manager.

“I thank the whole team I worked together with all along, it was such an honour and privilege. I am not going with KPCC; the strategies that we have put in place must continue regardless. Ms. Kathambi brings on board loads of experience, so let us accord her every bit of support she may need and ensure KPCC soars to greater heights,” concluded Mr. Chibeka.

Mr. Chibeka’s tenure has seen KPCC make profits of Kshs. 1.7B up from a mere Kshs. 645m five years ago- a true testament of exceptional stewardship.

Additionally, he recently oversaw the rollout and execution of the Queue Management System (QMS) at Corporate Outpatient Centre (COC), among other accomplishments.

The KPCC team appreciates Mr. Chibeka’s input to the facility and wishes him happiness and fulfilment in his new role.
