At the onset, I wish to acknowledge the presence of Hon. Njeru Githae, the Minister for Finance of the Republic of Kenya. His presence gives this function the great significance it deserves. Further, I wish to thank the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sizwe Nxasana, for inviting me to this auspicious occasion.
We are glad that the FirstRand Bank Ltd has a physical presence in Kenya. Ladies and Gentlemen: I am delighted to note that the Kenyan Banking sector has continued to attract a lot of interest from international financial players.
