Senior management axed at Kenya Ports Authority in anti-corruption drive
Sweeping changes have been instigated at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) in a bid to clamp down on rampant corruption at the Port of Mombasa.
KPA managing director Gichiri Ndua and three general managers at the East African port were sent on early retirement today.
“Several serving staff at Kenya Ports Authority had failed to fully exercise their duties to stop or mitigate the possibility of compromising operations and delivery,” a government spokesperson told local media, adding: “Several key changes at the top management were required in order that the institution may deliver on its mandate.”
Another 50 employees have been told to move to different positions at the port.
