FDH appoints interim group CEO
FDH Financial Holdings Limited yesterday appointed George Chitera as interim group chief executive officer (CEO), replacing business magnate Thomson Mpinganjira who is indicted by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) over charges of attempting to bribe judges hearing the May 21 presidential elections nullification case.
A media statement signed by the company’s chairperson Noel Mkulichi said Mpinganjira was granted sabbatical leave effective January 27 2020 and that he stepped aside from his role and responsibilities within the company.
According to the statement, Chitera was, until his latest appointment, group chief finance officer, having joined the firm in 2007.
“The Board would like to reaffirm FDH Financial Holdings Limited’s commitment to serving its valued customers, the general public and all stakeholders and will accordingly render its support to Mr. Chitera for the continued success of the Group,” reads in part the statement.
