[SIZE=6]Paul Muthaura steps down as ICEA Lion CEO for health reasons[/SIZE]
Paul Muthaura will step down from his chief executive officer role at ICEA Lion General Insurance on medical grounds following an accident early this year, the insurer said on Friday.
Mr Muthaura joined ICEA in April 2020 as a chief operating officer, marking a return to the private sector after a 14-year stint at the Capital Markets Authority (CMA).
A credible source has confided that the outgoing CEO of the insurance firm was riding his bike in Nairobi’s Lavington suburb when he was involved in an accident.
So bad was the accident that he had to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a city hospital.
Our source revealed that for months he has been in an induced coma.
Before the life-changing accident, Paul had a successful career in the corporate world.
He is a trained lawyer and studied in some of the best institutions in the world, including the University of Warwick and the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Paul worked in several high-flying private companies before joining the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) in 2005 as a senior legal adviser.
In 2012, he was appointed the acting Chief Executive of the CMA after Stella Kilonzo resigned.
In April 2016, he was confirmed to the role and served until 2019.
He was appointed the ICEA Lion Chief Operating Officer in April 2020 before assuming the CEO position in October of the same year to take over from Steven Oluoch, who went on terminal leave.
Why? Their privilege may get them in but competence keeps them. Don’t be a hateful person, elite or not, an accident is not something to gloat over. Tomorrow it can be you or your loved one. May God bring healing upon him.
Don’t go putting words in my mouth. I didn’t mention the word hate. I’m just indifferent to their suffering as they are to Kenyans outside their social class.
Doctors call bike riders “donors” in the western world. More than half of those who arrive in the ER become organ donors. I remember once visiting a friend who had split his shoulder when he hit a bump. Doctors asked him to reconsider riding, since that night he was the only bike survivor in that hospital. 1/3.
Those are your words not mine. I don’t hate, I’m just indifferent. You missed the premise of my argument and fell into the strawman fallacy by putting forth an argument I never made then purported to make a rebuttal of the same.
That could either mean you’re being outrightly disingenuous or you’re not intelligent enough to grasp what I meant. I’m not even from “a peasant family” as you state.
My only question is, and it’s a simple one: Do Kenya’s warlords and their kin care about their fellow human beings whose lives are mere collateral in their itch for absolute power? My experience in my interaction with most of them is that they’re indifferent.
