The Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI) hosted the 22nd edition of the AKI Awards over the weekend. The Awards, celebrating excellence and innovation in the insurance industry, recognised performance during the competition period January 1 to December 31, 2023.
Within the awards, Britam was recognised as the Life Insurance Company of the Year while APA Insurance was recognised as the General Insurance Company of the Year while Absa Life Assurance Company scooped the Group Life Insurance Company of the Year Award within the awards.
This year, a record-breaking 1,056 agents met the qualifying competition criteria demonstrating a remarkable increase from 783 in the previous year. Among them, 727 agents represented life insurance while 329 agents represented general insurance.
“As we celebrate International Women’s Day under the theme of inspire inclusion, I would like to recognise the pivotal role played by women in driving insurance sales, with women representing slightly over 50% of the insurance agency profession,” AKI Executive Director, Tom Gichuhi noted during the awards.
