AkiDwA Treasurer Jules Buckley retired at the 2019 AGM
People came to the 2019 AkiDwA Annual General Meeting on Saturday, December 7th 2019 from across the country.
Members were able to get newly published copies of our 2018 Annual report, which describes how AkiDwA has been working towards structural transformation throughout 2018, by hiring new staff and engaging in an organisational review, which was completed last year.
We were welcomed by our Head of Operations & Strategy Salome Mbugua and we heard reports on AkiDwA activities throughout last year from our Chair Ashimedua Okonkwo and from Treasurer Jules Buckley, who is retiring this year.
