Francis Njiraini Discusses Priorities and Focus of Bluekey Seidor in Kenya

Francis Njiraini, Director of Bluekey Seidor, discusses priorities and focus of the company in Kenya.

“Our key focus is SMEs. We offer services to grow SMEs. In Kenya, most of the economy is driven by the SMEs. Almost 80% of all people are employed by SMEs. When we give solutions to SMEs, we know we are having a direct contribution to the economy. 2019 was a challenging year in Kenya. We have had a tight cash flow from the government and the private sector which means that for you to run your business, you need to be more aware of the cost of what is happening in your organization. That is how our solution helps. As you run your organization, we can give you the visibility of where to cut costs. If a company can identify the areas that will help it grow, they will retain their employees and that means that more families will have a better life. In that way, we contribute to the welfare of the economy. We are very happy with the team and what we have done and we have been recognized. For the sixth year running, we have been nominated for the Top 100 KPMG Award. We are very proud of that. This shows that the market is recognizing our efforts. On the talent front, SAP has been running something called SAP Skills for Africa to train young people and graduates. Getting the right talent is a big problem for us. We are partnering with SAP for the academy and those recruits will become interns in our organization so they can start a career. We are ensuring that there is a pool of resources available for the team”, says Francis Njiraini.
