The GDC Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme (GDCSRBS) held its 14th Annual General Meeting at Midlands Hotel, Nakuru on the 31st July 2025, reporting astounding growth for the year ended 31st December 2024. The scheme fund value increased to KShs 4.426 billion from last year's KShs 3.339 billion. The tremendous growth was attributed to the trustees' prudent investment management and commitment to capital preservation and sustainable asset growth.

Mr. Zablon Mlawasi, Board of Trustees Chairperson, expressed appreciation to the trustees and service providers for their dedication. "Our focus continues to be safeguarding members' interests while ensuring long-term financial sustainability," he continued. The Board also took a moment to acknowledge and appreciate past trustees Irene Onyambu, Lambert Kimathi, Benjamin Mbugua and Michael Opiyo for their service during their tenure. Their leadership and expertise have set a good foundation upon which the success of the scheme today is built.

Present at the AGM were trustees Charity Zeron, Christopher Ngolo, Jacklyne Wakhungu, Paul Lomeri, Fredrick Mayoga, and Peninah Weru. Principal service providers: Enwealth Financial Services (Administrator), GenAfrica (Fund Manager), UHY Kenya (Auditor), and Cooperative Bank (Custodian) Mr. Bosco Gicheo, representing the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA), praised the scheme's open governance and compliance, as a demonstration of its position as a model retirement benefits scheme.

One of the evening's highlights was the reveal of the scheme's first official logo, with slogan "Save. Relax. Enjoy." This new brand identity encapsulates the spirit of the scheme's aim to help members save, enjoy retirement peace of mind, and live financially free.

With strong finances, strong leadership, and refreshed branding, the GDC Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme is well-placed to continue offering value and security to members over the next few years.
