Former Sports, Culture and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohamed has landed a new job as a University don.
Amina was named the new Chancellor of the International University of East Africa (IUEA) in Uganda.
Ambassador Mohamed steps into the role to replace the former don late Prof. Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile who passed on in January last year.
In a statement, the university intimated that the former Kenyan CS had her work cut out for her.
“Today IUEA installed Amb. Dr. Amina Chawahir Mohamed. We are positive that the Chancellor’s leadership will be instrumental in guiding the institution towards more outstanding achievements,” noted the institution.
Amina Mohamed, in her acceptance note, stated; “To the students, today and tomorrow belong to you. I will do my best to make sure you are equipped with the tools that will magnify and amplify your chances of success in life.”
This comes barely weeks after former ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru who served in Uhuru’s government between 2015 to 2022 was appointed the president of Jumo.
Jumo is a London-based fintech (financial technology) company building next-generation financial services for emerging market entrepreneurs.
This, he confirmed through his LinkedIn profile update, Mucheru said he will support the company to deliver its growth goals, navigate the regulatory landscape, and build the firm’s presence across the African continent.
“JUMO is revolutionising the lending space in Africa, connecting entrepreneurs and individuals to the financial products they need to grow and prosper. I am hugely excited to be joining a business that is helping capital providers make attractive returns at the same time as supporting measurable impact,” Mucheru said.
Jumo operates in emerging markets across Africa and Asia where the company targets mostly micro and small to medium enterprises that need instant access to finance so they can grow and invest.
The company boasts a reach of 10 million customers since its founding in 2015.
