Pictorial: How it Went Down at the 2023 WIRE Awards

Former Lands Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney was the Chief Guest.

Last Friday, WIRE held its 7th Annual Legends and Leaders Awards at The Movenpick Nairobi. The event that honours and celebrates the achievements of women leaders in the Kenyan built environment brought together well-known women in the industry to emphasize the value of gender inclusion in the sector.

Our photographer, Anthony Kamau, was at the colourful event and captured the mood!
