The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) nominee for Governor, Patrick Ngugi, is the latest recruit from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to be put in charge of another critical organ of Kenya’s economy. Mr Ngugi is a long serving IMF insider who beat 22 candidates to clinch the CBK top job.
A PhD holder in Economics from Yale University, Ngugi is only waiting for Parliament’s approval before marching into CBK’s most decorated office on Nairobi’s Haile Selassie Avenue. Analysts say the appointment of Ngugi to head Kenya’s most important financial institution has cemented the country’s dalliance with the Washington based institution.
