In a significant announcement on Wednesday, CPA Samuel Waweru Mwangi, widely known as "Uncle Sam," was appointed the new Chairman of the Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC), marking a new chapter for the institution. His appointment comes after the revocation of Irungu Nyakera’s position, as published in a recent Gazette notice.
Uncle Sam, a respected figure in the finance and investment sectors, brings a wealth of experience to KICC, making his new role a strategic move for the institution. With a Master of Science in Finance and Investment from KCA University and certifications including CPA and CIFA, he is an expert in financial management, accounting, and operations. His extensive background includes leading local and international companies in mergers, acquisitions, and advising on investment opportunities.
Waweru’s leadership and financial acumen are expected to bring transformative changes to KICC. With a proven track record of managing financial operations, optimizing performance, and ensuring compliance, he is poised to steer the center towards greater efficiency and success. His expertise in budgeting, financial analysis, and cash flow management is likely to play a key role in enhancing KICC's global positioning, especially in attracting more international events and business.
Despite narrowly missing the Gatanga Constituency seat in the 2022 General Election, where he was a candidate, Uncle Sam’s dedication to public service has remained unwavering. The political campaign, marred by negative propaganda that falsely associated him with the Azimio coalition, did not deter his passion for making a difference. He has continued to serve the people of Gatanga by offering guidance, consulting, and resources to foster positive social change within the community.
His appointment as KICC Chairman reflects not only his professional capabilities but also his commitment to service and transformation. Samuel Waweru Mwangi’s strong leadership in the financial sector and his genuine care for community welfare position him as an ideal leader to take KICC to greater heights.
The KICC, which plays a pivotal role in hosting international conferences and events, stands to benefit greatly from his visionary approach. With Uncle Sam at the helm, there is a strong expectation that the institution will continue to thrive and expand its global influence, benefiting not just Nairobi, but Kenya as a whole.
Waweru’s appointment is seen as a new beginning for KICC, bringing with it a fresh perspective, and reinforcing Kenya’s commitment to excellence in global business and events management.
