Kenya Commercial Bank contributed KShs.150
million towards emergency interventions to
cushion vulnerable citizens affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The funds will be channeled through the
COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund formed by
President Uhuru Kenyatta to support Kenyans
during this crisis.
“We stand with the nation to help limit the
spread of the virus and ease the related
economic hardships faced by the communities
in which we operate in,” KCB Group CEO and
MD Joshua Oigara said.
“This pandemic is a new test of our collective
strength and we must work together to address
it. We are committed to play our part to support
this initiative and complement the
Government’s effort in empowering the most
vulnerable in our midst,” said Mr. Oigara who is
also a Board Member of the Fund Chaired by
Jane Karuku.
The contribution is in addition to the other
measures the Bank has taken to cushion the
customer and other stakeholders against the
raging impact of coronavirus.
These initiatives include a KShs. 20M donation
