The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) General Secretary Reverend Canon Peter Karanja, has called on all Council subsidiaries to synergize with an aim of enhancing their collective and individual institutional impact in the country.
Speaking during a rare luncheon for Chief Executive Officers of various NCCK subsidiaries, Canon Karanja noted that the Bible encourages all to embrace and be part of a family where one is loved and valued. He called on them to adopt a policy of complementarity that would entail sourcing products and services from each other before seeking the same from other institutions. This, he clarified, will promote higher profitability of the subsidiaries leading to greater impact.

Prof Galgalo, on his part, thanked Canon Karanja for the luncheon. He noted that as a family there was need for NCCK subsidiaries to meet and pray together. He added that such meetings will enable them identify areas of synergy and appreciate the capacity of each other.
Appreciating meeting, Ms Muiruri challenged her peers to focus on excellence and quality. She said that this will ensure that sourcing products and services from each other will not mean sacrificing cost effectiveness if the same were sourced elsewhere.
Also present were senior staff from the institutions.
