KENYA – New Managing Director of KIPI appointed
With effect from 1 June 2023, Ms Norah Ratemo has been appointed as the new Acting Managing Director of the Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI). The appointment marks the end of Mr John Onyango’s tenure as Acting Managing Director of KIPI which began on 1 December 2019. The last permanently appointed MD of KIPI was Mr Slyvance Sange who held the post from 31 May 2014 to 30 November 2019 before being replaced by Mr Onyango. Prior to her appointment, Ms Ratemo served as the Director of Investments at the Kenya Development Corporation. One of Ms Ratemo’s key responsibilities will be to supervise the recruitment of a permanently appointed Managing Director. We wish Ms Ratemo everything of the best in her new role. We will continue to monitor developments at KIPI.
