Voices of Partnership
Angela Mwirigi, KCB Bank Director of Digital Financial Services, said:
“Kenya’s creative industry is a powerful engine for innovation, entrepreneurship, and youth empowerment. Our partnership with Sauti Sol reflects our commitment to investing in homegrown talent and creating opportunities for creatives to thrive.”
