NCBA Bank has officially launched the 2025 Johari Awards in the Coast Region, marking the start of a nationwide celebration recognizing top motor vehicle dealers and insurance broker agents for their contribution to Kenya’s asset finance sector.
Now in its 19th edition, the Johari Awards have grown into a premier platform celebrating excellence and innovation in the vehicle and movable machinery dealership industry.
The initiative underscores NCBA’s continued leadership in Asset Finance, where the bank commands over one-third of the Kenyan market, supported by strong partnerships with dealers and industry stakeholders.
Speaking during the launch, Lennox Mugambi, NCBA Group Director for Asset Finance and Business Solutions, said the awards go beyond recognition, emphasizing the bank’s commitment to building lasting industry relationships.
“The Johari Awards are more than a rewards forum. They reflect the Bank’s desire to forge closer connections, inspire industry transformation and celebrate the individuals who drive it. Through these awards, NCBA continues to reinforce its position as the Home of Asset Finance, an institution that not only provides financial solutions but also nurtures long-term business relationships that.”said Mugambi.
The Coast Region event in Mombasa kicks off a nine-stop national tour, with upcoming ceremonies scheduled in Kisii, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Nyeri/Karatina, Meru, and Thika, before culminating in a grand finale in Nairobi this December.
Through the Johari Awards, NCBA aims to strengthen partnerships, celebrate innovation, and reaffirm its position as the Home of Asset Finance.
Beyond asset financing, the bank continues to play a key role in corporate and business banking, driving growth and prosperity across Kenya’s economy.
