The National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani (pictured) has rejected three nominees for the post of managing director at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). The CS later told The Standard that because of the sensitivity of the KPA job and the long-term programmes, the Authority’s MD must be a person with utmost competence. “We all know the competing selfish interests that are at play during the recruitment of the KPA MD. "President Kenyatta should veto Treasury CS @BaloziYatani decision to reject the 3 board nominees for @Kenya_Ports MD job on the excuse that none of them raised 70% threshold. Another former KPA MD Brown Ondego said: "There are so many interests at play at the port and the KPA MD must be a brave person."
