The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) has elected George Rubiri as the new chairperson of the motorcycle sub-sector.
Rubiri who is also the General Manager of Car & General (Trading) Limited succeeds Alvin Mageto who is a former director at Kibo Africa Limited and has held the position since 2021.
“Key to success will be offering strategic leadership to the sector. George will annually review the sector’s performance and reporting it to the Board through the Secretariat. He will also represent the sector in various forums and escalate any relevant issues to the advisory committee for final arbitration when needed,” said Tobias Alando, KAM Chief Executive Officer.
The chairperson of the sub-sector serves of voluntary terms for two years, as may serve for a further two years if re-elected.
“First, I want to thank Alvin Mageto for his dedication and commitment during his tenure. I believe I will fit in his shoes and move the sector forward. The motorcycle industry is very important to the Kenyan economy and cannot be wished away. We will work as a team and ensure it plays its vital role,” said Rubiri.
Established in 1959 as a private sector body, Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) has evolved into a dynamic, vibrant, credible and respected business association that unites industrialists and offers a common voice for businesses.
Rubiri now heads the sector where Car & General pioneered the use of two and three wheelers as taxis in Kenya over two decades ago.
