Richard Leserian Lesiyampe yesterday took over as the Chief Executive Officer of Kenyatta National Hospital for a period of three years. Leserian was appointed by the Minister for Medical Services Anyang’ Nyong’o after a successful interview by the hospital board following the expiry of Jotham Micheni’s term in October 2010. Micheni had served for the hospital for four years.
Dr Charles Kabetu who was previously the Deputy Director in charge of Clinical Services had been the acting CEO. Some 21 people applied for the job with four shortlisted for interviews, from which Leserian emerged the best. Leserian previously held the post of Deputy Director of Finance and Administration at Kenya Wildlife Service.
He is a management specialist who holds an MBA in Strategic Management from the University of Nairobi and is currently pursuing a PHD at Kenya Methodist University.
