The Ugandan government has appointed directors to the board of Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Plc, reviving the stalled recruitment of the firm's chief executive under a new charter that gives Kampala veto powers over the hiring and firing of the company's next boss.
In a notice on Thursday, the Ugandan government picked two of its senior officials, including the permanent secretaries in the Finance and Energy ministries, to represent it on KPC's board.
