The suspension of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) managing director Catherine Mturi-Wairi last Wednesday has, as widely expected, kicked up a storm at the coast, with politicians demanding that someone from the local community should be appointed to the position.
The KPA board said the decision to send Ms Mturi-Wairi home was due to lack of effective leadership and a non-responsive work culture, consistent failure to implement board resolutions and absence of clear performance targets.
