The firm said the new CEO together with a marketing director will join the group to complete a managerial transformation effected by the telephony company, the second largest mobile telephone provider in the country.
Communication Director, Mr Michael Okwiri confirmed to The Standard the expected changes, saying they are part of the group’s strategy to be a leading player in the mobile telephony industry.
