Dr. Andrew Mulwa, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) has won the 2024 edition of the African Governance Award.

The award, which draws participants from across Africa, identifies and publicly recognises sovereign institutions, multilateral institutions active across the continent and the collaborating, supporting and partnering private enterprises that have made exemplary contributions to good governance on the continent with regards to political governance and socio-economic development.

According to the organisers, the Business Executive Media Group, Dr. Mulwa’s recognition was reached after nomination by the African public, and authentication of his nomination claims with regards to his conduct, performance and impact.

“This confirms you as one of the leading lights in Africa’s ongoing political and socio-economic renaissance and presents you to the world as worthy of international public acclaim as a standard setter for public institutions across the continent, inclusive of central, regional/state and local governments, ministries, state agencies, bilateral and multilateral institutions, and other specialized institutions of state as well as official government institutions serving as development partners for African countries and their private sector partners in socio-economic development,” the letter reads in part.

Dr. Mulwa will be feted during the African Governance conference event that will be held in Mauritius from February 7-10, 2024.

Dr. Mulwa was appointed KEMSA CEO in May 2023.
