The Institute of Certified Secretaries (ICS) has made a u-turn on earlier denial of the recently appointed Company Secretary to seven tea factory companies in Meru. She is the newly appointed company secretary to Githongo, Weru, Imenti, Kinoro, Kionyo, Kiegoi and Michimikuru Tea Factories Companies. In a letter dated May 11, seen by the Star, KTDA-MS asked the ICS to confirm the existence of Susan Wanjiru Macharia’s membership with the institute. It is on this basis that we write to your esteemed office seeking confirmation of the existence/membership of Susan Wanjiru Macharia with the institute,” reads the letter in part. Section 246 (1) (b) and (2) of the Companies Act – the law guiding the governance and operations of all companies in Kenya – demands that directors must ensure that, among other things, their company secretary holds certification from ICPSK.
