The two CEOs agreed on the need to continue fostering strategic partnerships with diverse stakeholders aimed at achieving common objectives.

Mr Mohamud pointed out: “We would like to make Kenya the hub of deposit insurance. It is not in doubt that Africa is the new frontier. Many countries are now embracing DI and reaching out to us for benchmarking. And so we must create confidence in the industry across the region.”

On his part Mr. Alego said: “This is a build-up to what we had last week. We are working towards enhancing our value proposition of our stakeholders. This partnership therefore ticks a number of objectives.”
