Standard Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Chaacha Mwita is expected to leave his position on November 1, 2026.
This comes seven months after his substantive appointment at the media company.
The media company announced his departure in a notice signed by Company Secretary Catherine Kawira on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Mwita will also leave his position as an Executive Director, with the company yet to disclose the reason for his resignation.
“The Board takes this opportunity to express its sincere appreciation to Mr Chaacha for his dedication and invaluable contribution to the Company,” the notice stated.
According to reports, Mwita was appointed substantive CEO effective April 1, 2026, after serving as Acting CEO from July 1, 2025.
He took over the acting role following the resignation of Marion Gathoga-Mwangi, who left the position effective June 30, 2025, after about a year in office.
Mwita’s planned departure follows other changes at board level.
Additionally, on October 12, Standard Group announced that Edward Mwasi and Dr James McFie had resigned as Non-Executive Directors, effective August 31, 2026.
