On August 24, 2019, the Kenya Export Promotion and Branding Agency (KEPROBA) was formed after the merger of the Brand Kenya board and the Export Promotion Council (EPC). The new entity has appointed Peter Biwott as its chief executive officer.
Mr. Biwott has been the chief executive officer of the Export Promotion Council (EPC) and brings his experience to the new role. The Kenya Export Promotion and Branding Agency will be an integrated one-stop-shop for all export promotions and national branding activities for Kenya both locally and internationally.

“I am delighted to be part of this new agency that is committed to becoming a pacesetter in driving the government’s reform agenda,” said Mr. Biwott.
