Kenya: Ringera's Decade At Helb Ends As CEO Role Opens

3 December 2024

Nairobi — The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has advertised the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Board Secretary position, signaling the end of Charles Ringera's leadership after serving since 2013.

In a notice issued Monday, HELB announced that the new CEO will oversee institutional restructuring, fintech optimization, customer-focused leadership, human capital initiatives, and corporate governance.

Applicants are required to submit both hard and soft copies of their applications, accompanied by academic and professional certificates, and testimonials.

Ringera's exit aligns with Head of Public Service Felix Koskei's directive that parastatal CEOs serve a maximum of two terms. This policy replaces an earlier directive by Joseph Kinyua, which allowed unlimited reappointments and extended service beyond the retirement age of 60.

The next CEO is expected to build on HELB's core mandate of higher education financing, crucial for Kenya's development agenda.
