OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT
Public Clarification
Following several calls, messages, and inquiries from leaders, partners, and members of the public regarding an event being circulated online as the “Jamhuri Kenya Leadership Awards” scheduled to take place at Swiss Lenana Mount Hotel, we wish to clarify the following:
The Jamhuri Kenya Awards Organization would like to clearly state that this event is not our program and we are not associated with it in any way.
For the record, Benson Munene and Favoured Gakii are no longer part of the Jamhuri Kenya Awards team. Their working relationship with our organization ended last year after the successful 5th Edition of the Jamhuri Kenya Awards held at Argyle Grand Hotel. Since then, they have not been involved in any activities, programs, or operations of Jamhuri Kenya Awards.
Due to the ongoing online discussions and tags on social media, we felt it was important to issue this clarification to avoid any further confusion among our partners, leaders, sponsors, and supporters who continue to engage with our brand.
Jamhuri Kenya Awards remains an independent platform committed to celebrating leadership, culture, innovation, and excellence in Kenya through credible and professionally organized programs.
We therefore encourage the public and stakeholders to treat any event associated with the above-mentioned individuals as separate and not linked to Jamhuri Kenya Awards.
For official updates and information about our programs, we encourage the public to follow our verified communication channels and official announcements.
