Graft: Senior KPA staff sacked in major reshuffle

Kenya Ports Authority headquarters in Mombasa.

What you need to know:

  • he department also saw over 15 staffers affected in the changes, with most being sent packing.
  • Head of Container Terminal Edward Opiyo has also been demoted to principal officer.
  • Those at the Inland Container Depot in Nairobi have also been affected by the purge.

Senior Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) officials have been sacked and others moved in a major reshuffle at the graft-rocked parastatal, as the management moves to clamp down on irregularities within its procurement cadres that has cost it hundreds of millions in revenue.

The purge comes six months after KPA’s Board Risk and Audit Committee recommended that several senior managers in the finance, procurement and engineering departments face disciplinary action, including being forced to refund money lost, over several tender malpractices in the organisation.
