Coutts Otolo, Chair Audits and Risks Committee

Development and maintenance of structured internal controls in CHS have been central to ensuring sustained success and growth. CHS has cumulatively managed a funding portfolio of over USD 223,000,000, implementing health projects across Kenya. Over time CHS has demonstrated the capacity to successfully manage portfolio growth geographically and financially by adopting robust business practices and systems.

I chair the Audits and Risks Committee where I provide oversight and technical guidance to ensure compliance, structured control, continuous fiscal responsibility, and resource utilization.

My expertise of over 40 years in financial and business management, risks advisory and audits, and experience leading various companies, including Crowe Horwath Eastern Africa, Ernst & Young Eastern Africa, and my current one as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of Parker Randall Eastern Africa, providing a host of expert services across Africa for annual statutory audits, special/independent reviews, forensic audits and investigations, tax alignment and advisory for local and multinational organizations enhances my drive to ensure continued sustenance and management of CHS existence and portfolio.

Our Leadership Team

CHS utilises local expertise to ensure the implementation of evidence-informed health solutions across all its programs. With guidance from a committed leadership team, our dedicated staff working across Kenya are integral to the success of all CHS endeavours.
