Nairobi, Kenya and Dublin, Ireland – 26th November 2025

The Corporate Governance Institute (TCGI) and Scribe Services Registrars Limited have announced a strategic partnership, allowing governance professionals in East Africa to access top-quality, globally recognised corporate governance qualifications. 

The partnership opens crucial opportunities for professionals in the region to access the university-credit-rated diploma from TCGI locally. 

Clients will gain advanced governance training, board-readiness credentials and network with peers internationally. For TCGI, the collaboration expands its reach into the East African market through a trusted local partner, enabling increased enrolment and regional cohorts.

“We are delighted to partner with TCGI to bring globally-recognised board-level governance education into the Kenyan and East African market,” said Scribe’s Managing Director Bernard Kiragu Kamau. 

“This partnership will empower executives, aspiring directors and governance professionals with best-in-class frameworks, tools and credibility to step into and excel in governance roles.”

Ciarán Bollard, Chief Executive of the Corporate Governance Institute, said, “The partnership will provide a benchmark educational standard for those entrusted with high-level corporate decision-making.”

“Nowadays, the boardroom is an extremely high-stakes environment. Directors must play an active role in leadership, and to do that, they need first-rate, dedicated training which sets them up for success from day one. We’re excited to welcome the first delegates to our courses through this new partnership and develop our network further in the East African Region.”

Under the partnership, Scribe Services Registrars Limited will act as the official regional partner and reseller for The Corporate Governance Institute (TCGI), promoting and facilitating enrolment for its internationally accredited programmes within Kenya and the East African region.

All learning will be delivered directly through TCGI’s online learning platform, ensuring participants benefit from the same university-credit-rated content which has nurtured many corporate governance careers worldwide. 

Scribe Services began in pre-independence Kenya with a firm then known as Angus Lawrie Jeremy & Company, which provided company secretarial and accounting services. In 1956, EA Registrars was incorporated and took over the company secretarial business until the enactment of the Certified Public Secretaries Act in 1989, which necessitated the registration and transfer of the business to Scribe Services. In 2013, Scribe Services demerged, leading to the registration of the current Scribe Services Registrars Limited and Scribe Services Secretaries.

Scribe boasts a tradition of excellent service delivery during our long and exciting history of providing world-class corporate support services to a varied clientele. As a Certified Blue Company, it is committed to ethical business practices by promoting transparency and accountability.

The firm is organised into five service offerings being Company Secretarial, Corporate Governance, HR & Accountancy, Immigration and Nominated Advisors (NOMADs).

The Corporate Governance Institute (TCGI) is the global standard in corporate governance education and certification.RCGI offers university-accredited online programs designed to equip board members with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the areas of corporate governance and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Through its commitment to excellence and practical insights, TCGI sets the standard for governance education worldwide.
