Businessman Richard Ngatia to quit as KNCCI boss when he wins Nairobi Governor race

Ngatia, who is also the Managing Director and CEO of Megascope Healthcare, said the rules governing KNCCI state that anyone who wishes to run for an elective seat can do so.

“At KNCCI, we have a memorandum of understanding that stipulates that if you want to venture into politics, you can do but before you are sworn into your new office, then you should resign from your position,” he said. “When I win Nairobi, I will quit.”

Ngatia, also the chairman of The Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) said that he will adhere to the rules and should he be successful, he will ensure that he has handed over his duties and roles from all his dealings.

“I am still working for the people of Kenya even as I run for Governor of Nairobi and I will be ready on day one,” he said. “As we speak, I am in Dubai for the Dubai Expo 2022 where we are signing deals to make it easier for Kenyans to import or export their businesses and services.”

The Expo has over 200 countries showcasing their goods and services and Kenya is one of the countries present.

“The Expo has been a success, we have met with business and world leaders and we are happy with what we are seeing. That is a good thing for Kenyans,” he added.

Ngatia has announced that he is running for Nairobi Governor under the Azimio la Umoja umbrella.
