Reverend Canon Peter Karanja today rallied management and staff of Jumuia Resorts to embrace recommendations contained in a new turn around strategy for the resorts.
Speaking during the launch of the strategy, the National Council of Churches of Kenya General Secretary called for cooperation among staff aimed at achieving the much desired results.
Canon Karanja assured them of the NCCK’s support adding that his presence was a clear testimony of the value the Council attaches to the resorts. “I assure you of the support of the NCCK Management and head office. I came to sit in this meeting because of the importance we attach to this process. It will take everyone to produce results not just William,” said Canon Karanja who was flanked by Jumuia Resorts Chief Executive Officer William Kemboi.
Canon Karanja expressed confidence in the resorts’ staff and acknowledged their input in the growth of the chain. He said : “Unless you voice what you think you feel, it cannot add value. Work has been done and we must celebrate those who labour. However, hard work does not necessarily produce results.”
He challenged them to embrace innovation and constantly look for an outcome that will produce results. “William, I don’t think there is anyone who you need and is not here to produce results. Let’s make the most of the opportunities that we have,” he advised.
On his part, Kemboi said that the launch heralded a new era in the journey of Jumuia Resorts which shall soon be followed with the launch of a strategic plan. He said: “This is a milestone towards turning around Jumuia Resorts in line with the Mission and Vision of the Council aimed at running a profitable business venture. The real journey has just began!”
Present during the launch were Ufungamano Director Pauline Mungai, NCCK Internal Auditor Gilbert Wanjohi, Jumuia Resorts managers Emmanuel Waya (Jumuia resorts Kisumu) Alex Kavingo (Jumuia Beach Resort, Kanamai) Geoffrey Kimeu (Ag. manager for Jumuia Conference and Country Home, Limuru) among other section heads.
