Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) managing director Waithaka Waihenya has called it quits at the oldest media house after expiry of his contract.

Mr Waihenya served the State-owned corporation at various fronts for seven years.

He will be replaced by company secretary Paul Jilani on interim basis pending recruitment of a substantive MD.

In a statement to staff members on behalf of the board, corporation director Kennedy Mbwaya thanked Waihenya for “having given the corporation seven years of outstanding leadership during which KBC registered remarkable growth and accomplishments”.

“The board of directors, during its meeting held on October 5, 2017, considered the managing director’s request to leave the corporation following the expiry of his contract, and after due consideration approved the MD’s exit from the corporation with effect from the said date,” Mbwaya's statement said in part.
