Celebrating Excellence: FKE Employer of the Year Awards 2025

Thank you, and indeed everybody is a winner in FKE and congratulations to the winners. Mine is just to give a word of thanks and on behalf of FKE Kenya, the board and management, I'd like to extend our deepest gratitude for you finding the time especially on a Friday evening. First and foremost, thank God, we haven't had an incident all evening, and that is something I want to thank our chief guests for.

I want to acknowledge the executive director and the new board champion, and of course our president Dr. Gilda Odera, who together we are leading this wonderful organization. Our special guests include Hon. Justice Eric Kennedy Ogola, Principal Judge of the High Court of Kenya, ILO Senior Officials, Labour Commissioner Hellen Apiyo, IHRM Executive Director CHRP Quresha Abdullahi, and Acting Registrar of Trade Unions Anne Kagwiria Kanake. Thank you for coming.

I also want to thank the winners, and those journalists who came and covered the day. Because if you don't tell their story, those people will be left out and won't get any recognition. So prepare for the next award next year. Congratulations to the winners. I also will not forget to thank our sponsors, thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish you a really good evening.

We want to say thank you very much for being fantastic. We've enjoyed hosting you. I am Archie and my co host, Mr. Larry Asego. I want to thank DJ Swoop and Calabash Band who now are going to take us into the dance floor. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. Have a fantastic weekend ahead. Enjoy the rest of the evening. And toward the end of 2026, thank you.
