I would want to build on the strong foundation the sector has already established. I am keen on fostering sustainable practices in line with world’s best practices and make KFC a reference institution for championing sustainable flower production world over. The Kenya flower brand is globally acclaimed for quality and I want to leverage on that and push that message even more,” said the new KFC CEO during the interview with African Business Communities.
