Petroleum and Mining CS John Munyes has appointed Macharia Irungu as Kenya Pipeline Company's new Managing Director. Hudson Andambi has been the acting MD since December 2018 after the arrest of former MD Joe Sang and other top managers on allegations of corruption. In a statement, the CS said that the KPC Board of Directors settled on Irungu after a vigorous recruitment process. The CS said Irungu scored the highest points from a final list of three names and brings a 28-year experience in the field to the company. Up to his appointment, Irungu has been working as the MD of the Gulf Africa Petroleum Corporation which is a member of the Total Group.
