Kenya's First Islamic Bank steps up staff recruitment

  1. Home

Sun, 2007/07/08 - 22:32 by Muslim Investor

Kenya’s first fully fledged Islamic bank, First Community Bank Ltd. (FCB) has stepped up its recruitment of key personnel with the objective of commencing operations in the next few months.

The bank, which has links to Kuwaiti investors is seeking to recruit senior personnel to head its risk management, operations, treasury, corporate and retail banking arms as it opens branch networks through out the region.

First Community Bank Ltd. was in May 2007 granted approval by the Minister of Finance to conduct “banking business’’ under the Banking Act. First Community which is yet to commence operations intends to operate as a fully fledged Islamic Bank.

I would like to join my Muslim brothers and sister in commending the First Community bank efforts to salvage the Kenyan Muslim population. Indeed a wholly shariah compliant banking institution was a much needed adventure in Kenya. Furthermore, your shariah executive teams are people whose integrity cannot be doubted or compromised at all cost! Thank you and welcome to Kenya!
God bless you all!
