In a press statement sent to newsrooms, Adeniji added that through the support, the bank aims to inspire other corporate entities to take a proactive role in protecting Kenya’s natural ecosystem.
The Chief Commercial Officer at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Mr Ken Kimani, in his remarks, thanked GTBank for its sponsorship of the tournament, noting that their generous support not only enhances the experience for participants but also contributes to the broader mission of conservation and community development.
“The golf tournament celebrates this milestone and reinforces the ongoing need for collaborative efforts to sustain Kenya’s rich biodiversity,” said Kimani.
