Peter Ndegwa, CEO Safaricom
Safaricom has appointed Lucille Aveva as Director, Customer Obsession.
The post which has been created by Chief Executive Officer Peter Ndegwa will see Ms Aveva carry out some of the works that fall under Chief Customer Officer, a post currently held by Sylvia Mulige.
Ms Aveva will also report diretly to the CEO Peter Ndegwa.
The Safaricom Killer Director Sylvia Mulinge has been mentioned in many scandals. A drunk-driving Sylvia killed Mary Etale on the Southern bypass. Mulige has also been accused of ripping off inventors, and she was also mentioned in the electronic fare payments scam where nearly S1 billion was lost.
The paperwork for the electronic fare payment system was never found after the project collapsed. A firm, Fibre Space Limited was issued with a tender without a Request for Proposal ever being floated. Sylvia was then the head of Safaricom Business Unit.
Ms Mulinge has often been describing the CEO as 'an outsider', and is believed to have been behind the various schemes to sabotage the CEO.
The rant by COTU leader Francis Atwoli over restructuring at Safaricom is alleged to have been sponsored by her.
