Song and dance greeted the Co-operative Bank of Kenya Head of Marketing and Communication Ngumo Kahiga when he arrived at Imani Rehabilitation Center dubbed Imani Rehabilitation Agency to present a van on behalf of the bank valued at Sh5million.
Speaking after handing over the van, said that one of the intentions of the bank is to take part in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to help the vulnerable in society.
