Frank Marangu Ireri, who steered Housing Finance (now HF Group) through one of the most consequential transitions in Kenya’s banking sector, has died of cancer in Nairobi at the age of 63.
His passing on Sunday, October 26, marks the end of a chapter for a leader who believed that finance should bring Kenyans closer to home ownership—and who carried the weight of the sector’s upheavals with quiet determination.
