“I am honored to be appointed as Chairman of GAB, the leading Sharia-compliant Bank in Kenya. I am also grateful to the Board of Directors and shareholders for their trust and confidence reposed in me and reiterate once again the strong commitment that we have toward GAB. I take this opportunity to thank Suleiman for his leadership of Gulf African Bank over the last 5 years. Suleiman had the vision to set up the first Sharia-compliant institution in East Africa and the positive results of the Bank are a testimony to the success of that vision. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish him well in his political career and look forward to seeing him replicate the success he demonstrated in banking within his political life,” Jamal Al-Hazeem said.
