Dfcu ditches Sekebembe for Mathias Katamba as incoming MD

Must read

Top Dfcu bosses are reported to have agreed on Mr Mathias Katamba as incoming Managing Director replacing Juma Kisaame who id due for retirement early next year.

According to insider sources, Mr Katamba is said to have agreed to a deal, however, what is shocking is that the Chief of Business and Executive Director, William Sekabembe who rejected a job at Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) of Managing Director and opted to remain with Dfcu hoping to be given the top slot replacing Kisaame has been left out.

Sekabembe declined a job offer at KCB Uganda as Managing Director. Sekabembe declined the job offer in a letter dated September 5, 2018.
In July reports came out indicating Sekabembe had resigned from Dfcu, with many sources predicting he was to join KCB Uganda, even though the resignation from Dfcu didn’t take immediate effect as he has to wait for three months to elapse.

KCB Uganda had in a letter dated July 24, approached Sekabembe to become its Managing Director, following changes at Dfcu Bank.
But in reply to KCB Uganda’s Head of Human Resources Department, Sekabembe said: “I would like to give my appreciation for the recent Managing Director job offer with KCB…Limited, however, after careful evaluation, I regrettably decline the position.”
It is said that in process of luring him to remain at Dfcu, the board and top management increased his salary from Shs38 million to Shs56 million on top of a promise that he would replace Kisaame.

Sources say Sekabembe was supposed to assume the position of MD at early last year, but current MD Kisaame was given more time to manage Dfcu’s acquisition of Crane Bank.
Meanwhile there have been shareholder and individual staff exits at Dfcu in the past few months leaving industry analysts and the public wondering what was happening at the bank.
Mid-June, British government owned development firm CDC indicated that they are leaving Dfcu, which they have partnered with for over 50 years.

After CDC’s announcement, Deepak Malik, the CEO of Arise B.V; Dfcu’s majority shareholder also resigned from the board without giving reasons, though Board Chairman Elly Karuhanga would letter come out to explain Malik’s decision to resign. Karuhanga also confirmed to the media a month ago that indeed the bank was having liquidity problems.

Insider sources indicate that there two camps created among the shareholders, one led by board chairman Elly Karuhanga and Dfcu bank board chairman, Jimmy Mugerwa insisting on current MD Juma Kisaame and the other camp-mainly led by 58.71 majority shareholder Arise BV and Britain’s CDC Group in favouring William Ssekabembe who they think can turn around the fortunes of the bank whose current problems seem to have emerged from the controversial purchase of Crane Bank in January 2017.

  2. Parimatch may not have the brawn of other veteran bookies like Bet365 or Betfred, but there’s still plenty of reason to make it your PayPal betting site of choice. There’s a selection of welcome offers that new customers can claim, including a combined sports and casino bonus, a horse racing bonus, or a rare esports bonus. No mobile app or live streaming is available with this site which is disappointing. However, Parimatch’s odds are competitive and the site is easy to use. You can also make in-play bets on a range of markets which is great, but for me I like the chance to live stream while I bet on a live match so hopefully this is something that will be added in the future. Talking about PayPal’s prospects in sports betting, the plethora of betting sites that accept PayPal keeps growing exponentially every year. Punters select the PayPal option on the bookies’ sites two times more often than alternative offerings.

    ESPN is closing in on promoting Doris Burke to the NBA Finals, hiring Doc Rivers to join her and jettisoning Mark Jackson to the “B” team or off the network, The Post has learned. Here are our favorite bets for Wednesday night’s NBA action. Game 2 of the NBA Finals was defined by a rousing comeback from the Miami Heat, as the team pulled off another upset of a sizable home favorite this postseason. Miami is positioned as a slight home underdog for Wednesday’s Game 3, a spot it has become comfortable with. Denver is looking to take back command of the series in a game with a modest total that suggests a lower-scoring game is expected. Best bet: Nikola Jokic to get a triple double (-104). Jokic has already posted an NBA record eight triple-doubles in this postseason. He’s just an absolutely unstoppable offensive force. Anthony Davis couldn’t handle him and Bam Adebayo (likely) won’t be able to handle him. Denver is 4-0 against Miami over the past two seasons and in those games Jokic has averaged 23.8 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 9.3 APG and has two triple-doubles. — Fulghum
