Makanda Picked To Succeed Kisaka
The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has a new Deputy General Secretary.
Dr. Nelson Makanda Ndonga was today appointed by the NCCK’s Executive Committee meeting held at Limuru to succeed Oliver Kisaka who formally retires next month.
He beat other 7 other contestants in a tightly contested race, to clinch the highly coveted job.
The appointment ended a grueling 3-month process conducted by a search committee led by Archbishop Bishop Timothy Ndambuki.
Speaking shortly after the announcement, Makanda, who was accompanied by his wife Carol, thanked God for his new job saying he was happy to join the NCCK fraternity.
The current officials of the Council including Chairperson Canon Rosemary Mbogo, General Secretary Reverend Canon Peter Karanja, Treasurer Mr Kibuga Kariithi, and outgoing DGS Oliver Kisaka joined the Executive Committee members in congratulating Makanda on his appointment.
Makanda has vast experience, and holds a PhD in Biblical studies from Africa International University, Masters of Biblical studies and a Bachelors of Education degree from Egerton university.
